You'd be wrong, unfortunately.  You don't need the "head": checkout
checks out the head anyway.  But I'm not sure it's a bug, as such.

"monotone list certs b:head" expands to the unique hash
2645f7a4b96489ad0d10a94d83da4420d86592c3, because this is the only
revision on the branch matt.mto.test.botanhead.

Actually, I'd have expected --branch=net.venge.monotone to match only
things with that branch cert exactly, so maybe it *is* a bug, or ought
to be one?
