[9fans] Venti scores from fossil dumps?

[Lyndon Nerenberg]

Given a fossil+venti holding a snap -a in, say, /n/dump/0101, is there a
way of obtaining the vac score for the root of /n/dump/0101 such that it
could be used to initialize a new fossil from the snap?

          Vac prints the Venti score for a vac(1) archive containing
          the tree rooted at dir, which must already be archived to
          Venti (typically dir is a directory in the /archive tree).

so, from your example, you want (I think):

	vac /archive/0101

vac creates backup archives -- the score it prints is for the root of it's
own image.

What I'm trying to determine is if there is a way to peer inside fossil
and find the venti score that corresponds to main/archive/2008/0101.
