I'm evidently still doing somethihg wrong -- again -- because after I 
executing

mtn pull "mtn://code.monotone.ca/monotone?org.debian.usher"

and getting

mtn: doing anonymous pull; use -kKEYNAME if you need authentication
mtn: connecting to mtn://code.monotone.ca/monotone
mtn: finding items to synchronize:
mtn: successful exchange with mtn://code.monotone.ca/monotone
mtn:  bytes in | bytes out | certs in
mtn:       351 |       525 |      0/0
mtn: note: your workspace has not been updated

and subsequenty (in another directory) doing

mtn checkout --db=~/monotone/monotone.db --branch=org.debian.usher.monotone 
debush

it tells me

mtn: misuse: branch 'org.debian.usher.monotone' is empty

which I might have guessed from the low bytes in and bytes out counts.
Am I talking to the right server?

On the other hand, I have no trouble getting
 net.venge.monotone.contrib.usher
which seems to contain an usher without the init.d stuff to start it at 
boot and keep it up.
