I think that's just an effect of how netsync works, with its separate 
merkle tries for certs and revisions.

Making "net.venge.monotone" mean "that branch and all of its children" 
would result in fetching the associated certs as well, because all child 
branches were included. Thus I even think that would fix the silly issue 
you pointed out above, no?  (For the common case of syncing 
"net.venge.monotone", that is).
