And soon, we will become tla, the VCS where there are at least 3 ways
to do anything, almost but not entirely alike...

I call for a little bit of, how shall we say, purity?

Isn't that what 'mtn branch <branch>' does with the current
implementation (only gives a warning)?

njs> ? 'branch --go' at least seems like an intuitive UI...

I disagree.  Intuitively, I would always wonder why the hell I would
need to say something more to actually have things happen.  It's a
little like the dreaded 'Are you really sure you wanna do this?'
dialog...

Cheers,
Richard
