Your last 'update' command seems to execute only if the switch command
returns failure ("||"). That's what you intended right? (I think so,
just want to make sure.)

So the above output is from the switch...

And the above is from the update, right?

Can you give us a full reproduction recipe, one that starts with the
creation of a repository from scratch, etc? I know that's more trouble,
but it saves us *immense* amounts of time debugging.

Thank you,
