Yep, that's what I really wanted to know, and that's the answer I was  
hoping for.  Thanks.

I remember!  I really disliked that because I felt it cluttered up my  
locations.conf with branches that I'd long since deleted.  It didn't  
help that hacking that file didn't put blank lines between sections,  
making it harder to read.

Not really.  But a --remember that doesn't seems like a problem and I  
don't like a cluttered locations.conf.  OTOH, I really don't use -- 
remember very much these days anyway. ;)
