No, if there is more than one revision tagged with 'test', I think
you'd get an error asking you to disambiguate between all the revision
ids.  I've a branch, nvm.levitte.select-heads-of, that adds a magic
selector H: that simply selects the headmost revision of the following
selector, so you could say 'mtn update -r H:t:test'.  It *is* a hack,
though, more work is needed to make it worthy of mainline.  You might

btw.

Cheers,
Richard
