Sorry. I forgot to add the critical part.
I don't start a project until it is somewhat along.
I think most people will say that you don't check in a project of
1 file and 10 lines of code. Many people will say don't check in
a project of less then 100 lines of code. Few will say the same for a
project with 1000 lines of code.
The point is that I may have some of these directories at the point I
decide to import a project. is there a way of importing the project
without importing these directories?

bitkeeper has a very bad license. arch is immature.
Also from what I understand of arch it does not have a "central"
respository, which is something I want. My main concern
is to somehow download all the diffs and history ( so if I change
a file three times on my laptop, there are three new versions of
the file in the "central" repository, the diffs are the same and the
log messages are the same ) from a copied repository to a "centrai"
repository, even when the central repository has been changed. It
would be nice if I could update the copied repositoy,. but not
necessary. It would just be nice not to have to recopy the whole
thing.
