Yes, of course. Here it comes:

| $ mtn --db=test.db db init
| $ mkdir test
| $ cd test
| $ mtn --db=/tmp/test.db setup -b test .
| $ echo "foo" >foo.txt
| $ mtn add foo.txt
| mtn: adding foo.txt to workspace manifest
| $ mtn ci -m "add foo.txt"
| mtn: beginning commit on branch 'test'
| mtn: committed revision 6b5a5ad68d2bda38351cf64e1556b11e202df08b
| $ mtn --db=/tmp/test2.db db init
| $ mtn --db=/tmp/test2.db pull file:///tmp/test.db test
| mtn: doing anonymous pull
| mtn: connecting to file:///tmp/test.db
| mtn: finding items to synchronize:
