org-archive-subtree archives a subtree.
* A
** AA
*** AAA
** AB
*** ABA
Archiving AA will remove the subtree from the original file and create
it like that in archive target:
* AA
** AAA
What I want (wish for) is to create it like that in the archive target:
* A
** AA
*** AAA
If I also archive AB after that, it gets inserted in the structure which
is now identical to the structure we started with.
Use case: I tend to archive small pieces of a project's subtree long
before I'm ready to archive the entire project. This way I build (want
to build) an archived mirror of the project's subtree bit by bit.
Thanks a lot to the org-mode developers.

FR noted, thanks. I'm curious to see if people would really find this
a good option, as I like having my archives stored as flat entries.
If someone wants to give this a try, please go ahead.

+1.
I'd find this useful. I would like archives to exactly mimic source, and
I also archive sub-tasks and items throughout a project, not just the
entire project when I'm done with it.
Currently my archive setup is:
;; http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-7-1
(setq org-archive-location (concat org-directory "/archive/%s_archive::* Archived Tasks"))
;; Archive to archive/foo.org_archive and then under the existing header
(defadvice org-archive-subtree (around my-org-archive-subtree activate)
(let ((org-archive-location
(if (save-excursion (org-back-to-heading)
(> (org-outline-level) 1))
(concat (car (split-string org-archive-location "::"))
"::* "
(car (org-get-outline-path)))
org-archive-location)))
ad-do-it))
-k.

I would also prefer to have my archives hierarchical, for the following
reason. I like to archive projects as a whole thing (with the recorded
done tasks and the notes). A flat archiving system prevents me from
archiving anything until the project is done, which is problematic for
long running projects. Having hierarchical archiving would allow me to
trim these projects from their done tasks.

I have Org files that would benefit from hierarchical archiving
(i.e. the archive and the current file need to have the same structure).
At the moment I archive "inline" for this very reason, but of course
that means the file will get bigger and bigger.

I'm out of round tuits at the moment… :-(

Achim.
