I've removed the restrictions stuff from update, so for now you get the whole 
enchilada, er manifest.

I've done this too and it actually simplified the code a bit. The behaviour does 
seem quite nice.

I've also changed the validation in vocab.cc on local_path to allow "." in a 
normalized path which I think should be safe. With this, a path argument with 
the magic number of ../'s from within a working copy normalizes to "." which is 
the root of the working copy. A "restriction" containing the working copy root 
is essentially cancelled and treated as though you had typed no paths at all.
