Do we really need to distinguish between filename and pathname? I don't understand the difference here, unless it's a copy operation instead of an archive. Back when we invented lar, we thought about making all matches via the filename. So I think pathname is an idea to go away from that fixed mapping again...?
I'd rather define file types rather than pathnames?
Or is the pathname such a filetype, and the name is just ambiguous?
I like that you can add/exchange a file via the command line, and one needs to specify all the information in the manifest on the command line, too. So we should think about what goes in there.
