No. you can give archive/category--branch--versoin.

This is the behavior I expect. "Version: " is not proper here,
however "ARCHIVE/CATEGORY--BRANCH--VERSOIN: " is too long 
as prompt. Any good idea? 
During imput the string, you can use <TAB>.

Don't type <RET> here. When you hit <RET>, XTLA expects
a single string which has archive/category--branch--versoin as a format.
Instead, please type <TAB> here. The behavior I expect is

  Version: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/

or something archive name started with [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is expected behavior. @bar is too short as a version name.

Could you try with <TAB> instead of <RET>?
