Hmm, neat. There should be a way to specify the db to use, so it doesn't
have to be run from inside a workspace.

Here's something to go with it, that gets the packets for all revisions
in a set of branches that weren't there the last time it was run. It can
also update it's list of what the other side has from packet files that
they send. (ie, should more-or-less emulate push and pull over
sneakernet/email)
