I would like to see the case where the archive is just a mounted
directory accessible through the filesystem be handled internally.
Ideally if I could just specify the archive location on both the
master and slave using the same parameter just containing a filesystem
path then I could have the same configuration on both machines except
for the actual parameter which decides whether they're a master or
slave. That would make me much more confident I've configured both
machines properly. All the nodes would have the same information and
they would be deciding for themselves whether to push or pull archives
based on whether they're the master or slave.
