In this particular case, the normal output from 'mtn ls dbs' is database 
aliases.  It would be more consistent if the error messages did the same.

# By Stephen Leake, Feb 23, 2011:

That's not a problem, it's a feature! Error messages should always be as clear 
as possible. The user can easily be confused by search paths. 

What's wrong with using the full path in error messages?

# By Thomas Keller, Feb 23, 2011:

This is a general problem - as soon as we resolved the alias to a physical 
path, we use that for diagnostic and error messages, and not the aliased name.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------

1. Make sure to have a database made with an older monotone (say, 0.99.1)
2. Upgrade to a newer monotone (say, 1.0dev)
3. do 'mtn ls dbs'

Expected result:
----------------

...
mtn: warning: database :richard.levitte.org:snapshots.mtn is laid out according 
to an old schema
mtn: warning: try 'mtn db migrate' to upgrade
mtn: warning: (this is irreversible; you may want to make a backup copy first)
mtn: warning: ignoring database ':richard.levitte.org:snapshots.mtn'
...

Actual results:
---------------

...
mtn: warning: database 
/home/levitte/.monotone/databases/richard.levitte.org:snapshots.mtn is laid out 
according to an old schema
mtn: warning: try 'mtn db migrate' to upgrade
mtn: warning: (this is irreversible; you may want to make a backup copy first)
mtn: warning: ignoring database 
'/home/levitte/.monotone/databases/richard.levitte.org:snapshots.mtn'
...

Output of `mtn version --full`:
