A fossil that made an archival snapshot to a venti depends on that
venti. Consider the venti as the main storage for the fossil, not just
as backup.

(At least thats my experience with venti & fossil; and what the venti
paper says. Correct me if I'm wrong)

So, for archival snapshots, the venti should reside on the laptop.
(but it may be copied to an external venti now and then, of course)
