[Gnu-arch-users] bug: cat-log doesn't handle full revision names properly

[Aaron Bentley]

Even when a fully qualified revision-spec is provided, cat-log is
affected by the current project tree:

address@hidden:~/tla-1.2/src/tla$ tla cat-log
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-43
Revision: tla--devo--1.2--patch-43
Archive: address@hidden
Creator: Tom Lord <address@hidden>

address@hidden:~/tla-1.2/src/tla$ cd ..
address@hidden:~/tla-1.2/src$ tla cat-log
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-43
cat-log: no log for revision
(address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-43)
  tree: /home/abentley/tla-1.2/src
address@hidden:~/tla-1.2/src$ cd ~/
address@hidden:~$ tla cat-log
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-43
cat-log: not in project tree (.)

I think, given a fully-qualified revision name, cat-log should always
behave the same way.  Or if it's not supposed to accept fully-qualified
revision names, it should refuse them.

The problem exists in 1.1 and 1.2-patch-43.
