I can imagine problems if the specified version is tag-based or mixed. 
I'm not sure that everyone would want the latest revision of the 
version, though.  I suspect sync-tree is the interface to emulate.

Note that the current (replay-based) implementation is not going to work 
very well with revisions created by commit --base.
