There's a syntactic ambiguity here in knowing where the database name
(which might contain slashes) ends and the branch name starts. On a
system where files and directories can't have the same names, it can be
resolved semantically. But on systems like, say. DEC VMS, there might
be a problem.
Does the syntax here actually need to be system-independent? I admit,
it would be nice... .
