Inventory is already taken care of.  The Arch inventory IDs are copied
into file IDs verbatim.  The revision IDs need a little more care,
because a revision ID should reflect:
1. The fact that they're Arch revisions
2. The Arch revision ID
3. The algorithm used to import the revision

3. is important, because it's conceivable that more than one approach
could be taken to importing Arch revisions.  If it were omitted, it
would be impossible to distinguish between two bzr branches derived from
the same Arch branch, but with different contents/metadata due to a
different import algorithm.

Anyhow, I will certainly to develop the script further, so that parallel
imports produce the same result.
