I guess the problem is that ~henrik/bughelper/dev and
~dholbach/bughelper/bughelper.dev were not both based on
~bugsquad/bughelper/bughelper.main

If you're entirely happy with the diff, you can try using "--force".

Good thinking, I'll add a '-l http://...' now. -l, because -u could be
"unconfirmed" and -U "unassigned" or something. :-)

Maybe we should start a document on how the command line interface could
work.

Added to TODO.
