Excuse me for my ignorance but .... What do you call ACID properties ?

For the moment Arch with tla is limited to POSIX environment, should we
considered that it is a ARCH requirement, or on only a caracteristic of the
first implementation of ARCH ? Should we imagine that ARCH can be open to non
POSIX SYSTEM (Mainframe, etc ...) ?
About the problem described by James, can we imagine to be able to
control
the propagation of history between branches ? (Deleting history for example
after a fork, because we don't want to merge after from the original branch,
alpha branch -> beta branch -> rc branche -> final branch we don't need to
propagate history because we only need to continu history, not to merge
later)

We are only exchanging idea, free to every one to do what he wants after.
