We query merge sources so we can perform a merge. We (currently) can't
merge *to* a URL, so there's no immediate use-case for querying potential
merge sources for one.

Well, here's a question I had while making this change. They are full URLs
with no revision information attached to them, just as they were before I
abstracted out the code. But it does seem like they'd need at least some
kind of peg revision to be useful, doesn't it?

(As for the relative URL thing, that was another bit of lossage from my
corrupt working copy. I'll fix the docstring there.)

Oddly, no. That 'source' was made to be optional didn't seem to be
documented anywhere.
