Do you see the tickers counting certs, files and revs in at this point?

                                                            ^^^^ this 
looks like your checkout command specified the branch incorrectly -- you 
don't want the trailing '*' for checkout.

                  ^^^ good, it appears that your sync did get the 
revisions so you should be fine without the '*' on checkout.

no, the push/pull/sync commands work between your local database and the 
database on the server that you're talking to. commands like checkout, 
status, diff, update and commit work between your local database and 
workspaces created from it.
