Oh, umm, yeah, I haven't tried it, but your log does say that
MT/revision was missing, and I can't imagine how update would work in
such a situation.  So it sounds like the bug is that we should notice
MT/revision missing earlier, and blame the user rather than the code.

I'm not sure why we even default to allowing an empty revision file...
these days, with 'setup', we can perfectly well say that if you have
MT/ but no MT/revision, then the working copy is just corrupt.
