I think we want something stronger to make it clear that this is usually
an undesirable operation.

I also like Stephen's "--repo=<repofilename>" argument, so you can place
your repository at some standard place and then when you branch you just
explicitly say which repository to use for that branch (similarly to
what mtn does).
