Is this using the parent as the submission branch? How do we know what
revision the parent is at if we don't look at it. If you could say "use
the last known parent value" that would be one possibility. But remember
that the submit: value *changes* if the parent merged some of your changes.

Now, if it looks at the parent, but your submit branch is configured to
be something else, then that would certainly be a bug.
