There's a strong hint in the messages: monotone is saying that it's
regarding 'head' as a selection (selector), and expanding it.
It should probably expand that a bit, to show that it's treating it as
a branch selector, and show which branch it expanded to. It does do
this kind of thing sometimes, but it might be useful to be more
verbose always. For example
monotone list certs jmmv/2004-12-19/i:3b
currently says
monotone: expanded selector '2004-12-19' -> 'd:2004-12-19'
monotone: expanding selection 'jmmv/2004-12-19/i:3b'
monotone: expanded to '3b791e6c2523766e9973cbfcd6a7748907fd74dc'
It could say
monotone: expanded selector '2004-12-19' -> 'd:2004-12-19'
monotone: expanding selection 'jmmv/2004-12-19/i:3b'
monotone: expanded to '3b791e6c2523766e9973cbfcd6a7748907fd74dc'
monotone: selectors matched a:address@hidden/d:2004-12-19T10:48:11
or something. Similarly for branches.
