The same definition as the one for "-r ancestor:...", i.e. an ancestor of the current revision is a revision that's part of the current revision's history. And what I want is the nearest ancestor that's on one of the branches hosted in bzr.sv.gnu.org. And for convenience's sake, I'd like this ancestor to be described not by a revision-id but by a "branchname+revno". Stefan
