That would be okay, but I think in the short term shutil.move() makes
sense since you are already using a /tmp file.

Well, what about trying to import tla-mainline. Which goes back about 20
branches across 5-10 different archives. I think few people are going to
have all archives registered. I don't even know if all of them exist.
My fix basically just had it start, and until it got 1 successful
import, it just kept trying.
You could make that happen manually with a start-from-here if you wanted.
