After following the instructions at
http://www.venge.net/monotone/self-hosting.html
I typed:
monotone --db=~/etc/monotone/monotone.db
--branch=net.venge.monotone checkout head monotone-src
It gave me:
monotone: expanding selection 'head'
monotone: expanded to '2645f7a4b96489ad0d10a94d83da4420d86592c3'
I would expect this to check out the head of branch "net.venge.monotone".
(The combination of --branch=net.venge.monotone and the selector head
appears to expand the same as the selector
b:net.venge.monotone/b:head, and in this case that's unique.)
In case it's not obvious, this behaviour seem very unlucky: almost
always monotone prints out an error when you make an error. You've
just been unlucky.
Also, the behaviour of not treating the --branch argument more
literally seems wrong to me. If I want a selector
b:net.venge.monotone, then I think I ought to be able to just say that
(and anywhere where I can't currently do that, maybe there should be
another standard option --selector=).
