I now realise why it doesn't exist -- the issues involved are a hell of a
lot more complex than I initially could have concieved of.

I'd still like them (if only for use with -A and fully-qualified
branch/revision names in various places), but I can understand if they're
not worth the effort -- I'll just go back to my environment vars.

Good treatise on the topic, though, David.  A little over my head, but what
I understood I thought was pretty well on the money.
