Granted I could possibly live without that for a little longer too but
by the way that Tony introduced the -rHEAD:date syntax, he has
explicitly made HEAD semantically a branch. This new syntax doesn't
make sense to me. Either I want the head revision or I want a revision
from a specified date. I can't have both (unless the date matches the
head revision).

Maybe this could have better been resolved by adding a new option to
enforce checkout from the default branch only. This would for instance
be consistent with how Log handles this problem. Unfortunately update
-b is already taken as an option...

Cheers,
