Huh. That's interesting on a couple of fronts.

First, if this worked we really wouldn't "need" checkout at all.
Second, it pretty much mimics what the new editable_tree.checkout would 
do. i.e. apply a cset that is empth rev -> selected rev".

I'm not sure how much it would take to make it work. Removing the assert 
it hits in CMD(update) and the next one it hits in 
pick_update_candidates isn't enough to make it happy! ;)
