No, it broke (the attempt to resurrect the floating branches broke
it).  -r doesn't work at all at the moment.

The fix is simple enough this time so I've put it in.  

Eventually I want to move away from numeric revisions completely but
have held off because the frontends tend to use/display them (you can
resolve any file as <branch>.<version> eg. HEAD.1, development.24,
etc. which hides the internal numbers completely).
