Eek. This tells me we need better documentation :-).
I almost wonder if we should rename "update" to "rebase" or something?
"Moving forward" just happens to be one of its more common use cases;
the basic operation is "move to X", and X defaults to "current head"
(roughly).
Revert, on the other hand, is a way of modifying the files in the
current workspace, and is entirely orthogonal to update...
