Well, heck, if '-r' is already working in the WC->WC case most of the
time, why don't you investigate the bug? It sounds like we're almost
there. Maybe it's really trivial to make -rHEAD work correctly.

If it isn't trivial, then I'd suggest going the other route: forbid
-r completely in the WC->WC case, and make docs very clear about it.
