"lint" is a typical GNU Arch notion. It warns you about :

1) Files neither ignored nor versionned

2) Files matching the "unrecognized" pattern.

3) Duplicate IDs

4) Symlinks pointing to nowhere


1) can be done simply with "status" with any other revision control
system. 

2) is special-cased in GNU Arch, but the number of use-case for it is
very limited. AFAIK, no one else implements this kind of thing.

3) is just the result of a misconception in GNU Arch, who
stores IDs in the working tree or even in the files. But this
situation can just not happen in other VCS.

4) is not really the role of a revision control system. Well, your
revision control could warn you about syntax errors in your C files
too, but that's not the point.


So, for the things that other VCS implement, "status" is what you
want, and the other ones are things that do not need to exist for
another VCS.

status, and then "a" for example.
