Stephe address@hidden mtn update -b net.venge.monotone
mtn: updating along branch 'net.venge.monotone'
mtn: misuse: your request matches no descendents of the current revision
mtn: misuse: in fact, it doesn't even match the current revision
mtn: misuse: maybe you want something like --revision=h:net.venge.monotone

Stephe address@hidden mtn update -r h:net.venge.monotone
mtn: expanding selection 'h:net.venge.monotone'
mtn: expanded to '8b38c089e7a11ef78e4ebb332b5d7d8c5cfb0eea'
mtn: selected update target 8b38c089e7a11ef78e4ebb332b5d7d8c5cfb0eea
mtn: target revision is not in current branch
mtn: switching to branch net.venge.monotone

mtn: switched branch; next commit will use branch net.venge.monotone
mtn: updated to base revision 8b38c089e7a11ef78e4ebb332b5d7d8c5cfb0eea


why should 'update -b foo' fail when 'update -r h:foo' succeeds? They are
supposed to mean the same thing.

(This is similar to 13597, but not the same)
