Actually SCMs such as Arch which only have a single meta-data
directory are pretty easy to adapt to his case: just keep the
meta-data directory elsewhere and move it back to its original
place (or make a symlink, it'll probably work just as well)
temporarily whenever you need to run an SCM command.
You still have {arch} for the whole tree, and .arch-ids for each
sub-directory.
