I'm not validating input at the moment because I needed a quick hack to
get some newbies trained on how to use *any* VCS without giving them too
many details to remember (ie. where the heck was that config file? What
was its syntax? etc...).  After Christmas I'd like to expand it to also
handle the "current branch" vs "global" case and validate input.
