I know that tla's command line interface is pretty bad. But then again I
never really got into it. When I was at LCA everyone was raving about
baz and baz-ng which is backed by Canonical (the backers of ubuntu

it).

Basically a read only repository is all client side, you can just dump
the repository onto the web server. No server side modifications is
required. This is good esp. since we are web guys.
