Well, right now I just use branch.missing_revisions() which does not
handle diverged branches.

It also doesn't handle the case that the histories are different, and
just happen to be the same for one revision. Though I don't know that it
is possible, since each revision id is actually unique with a completely
unique history (at this point). Is there plans to change it such that a
given revision id has a variable parent. Because as long as all revision
ids have a unique (set of) parent(s), then a revid actually uniquely
defines the history as well. (X always points to Y always points to Z ...)

I can see your point. And actually it might be nice to have missing just
look at all the revision ids of other, and see what is not in local.
Because that might tell you that you want to do a 'merge'. Right now
missing only lets you do pull.

I will change that.

But I would hope that you might have some ideas about how to structure
the command line arguments so that you can supply both a local branch,
and a remote branch. For now, I'm just only allowing the local branch to
be '.'
