No, I don't remember any particular reason. That is, I can understand
why, *if* one is going to make foo@ have an explicit revision at all,
that it should be BASE for a local path and HEAD for a url. But I
don't understand why an explicit revision is necessary in the first
place -- which I gather is the question you're asking :-).

Not sure what I was thinking. If the tests pass with unspecified
revision, then +1 on your change.
