Description

From http://maven.apache.org/archiva/guides/configuration.html :

"When Archiva saves it's configuration, all configuration is stored to
a single file. The file chosen is by the following rules:

• If ~/.m2/archiva.xml exists, it is saved there

• Otherwise, it is saved to $ARCHIVA_BASE/conf/archiva.xml,
  regardless of whether it previously existed. "

The latest code (r553963) always writes to ~/.m2/archiva.xml, even if it did not exist, and completely ignores $ARCHIVA_BASE/conf/archiva.xml.
