Arch, Gentoo & Slackware are for intermediate linux users, or for people learning incredible fast.
I consider myself as a fast learner, but the freedom (and some 'must's') i had was too much to handle at first contact.
Well, I used Mandrake (now Mandriva) for a year and learned absolutely zip... I had to force myself to dive into the deep end to get anywhere.

git-archimport
GIT-ARCHIMPORT(1) Git Manual GIT-ARCHIMPORT(1)
NAME
git-archimport - Import an Arch repository into git
SYNOPSIS
git archimport [-h] [-v] [-o] [-a] [-f] [-T] [-D depth] [-t tempdir]
<archive/branch>[:<git-branch>] ...
DESCRIPTION
Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches and repositories within the namespaces defined by the
<archive/branch> parameters supplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from it will just import it as a regular commit. If
it can find it, it will mark it as a merge whenever possible (see discussion below).
The script expects you to provide the key roots where it can start the import from an initial import or tag type of Arch commit. It will
follow and import new branches within the provided roots.
It expects to be dealing with one project only. If it sees branches that have different roots, it will refuse to run. In that case, edit
your <archive/branch> parameters to define clearly the scope of the import.
git archimport uses tla extensively in the background to access the Arch repository. Make sure you have a recent version of tla available
in the path. tla must know about the repositories you pass to git archimport.
For the initial import, git archimport expects to find itself in an empty directory. To follow the development of a project that uses Arch,
rerun git archimport with the same parameters as the initial import to perform incremental imports.
While git archimport will try to create sensible branch names for the archives that it imports, it is also possible to specify git branch
names manually. To do so, write a git branch name after each <archive/branch> parameter, separated by a colon. This way, you can shorten
the Arch branch names and convert Arch jargon to git jargon, for example mapping a "PROJECT--devo--VERSION" branch to "master".
Associating multiple Arch branches to one git branch is possible; the result will make the most sense only if no commits are made to the
first branch, after the second branch is created. Still, this is useful to convert Arch repositories that had been rotated periodically.
MERGES
Patch merge data from Arch is used to mark merges in git as well. git does not care much about tracking patches, and only considers a merge
when a branch incorporates all the commits since the point they forked. The end result is that git will have a good idea of how far
branches have diverged. So the import process does lose some patch-trading metadata.
Fortunately, when you try and merge branches imported from Arch, git will find a good merge base, and it has a good chance of identifying
patches that have been traded out-of-sequence between the branches.
OPTIONS
-h
Display usage.
-v
Verbose output.
-T
Many tags. Will create a tag for every commit, reflecting the commit name in the Arch repository.
-f
Use the fast patchset import strategy. This can be significantly faster for large trees, but cannot handle directory renames or
permissions changes. The default strategy is slow and safe.
-o
Use this for compatibility with old-style branch names used by earlier versions of git archimport. Old-style branch names were
category--branch, whereas new-style branch names are archive,category--branch--version. In both cases, names given on the command-line
will override the automatically-generated ones.
-D <depth>
Follow merge ancestry and attempt to import trees that have been merged from. Specify a depth greater than 1 if patch logs have been
pruned.
-a
Attempt to auto-register archives at http://mirrors.sourcecontrol.net This is particularly useful with the -D option.
-t <tmpdir>
Override the default tempdir.
<archive/branch>
Archive/branch identifier in a format that tla log understands.
