That is a good question! I had assumed it would resolve my name
relative to my current workspace state, but clearly that is not the
case. (?)
Perhaps I should review the manual. Hrm.

How hard would it be to implement? That is just some surface syntax
that boils down to a content hash (or revision id? I don't really know
how Monotone's internal structures work) and then goes into the normal
logic chain of the existing commands, right?
