Well, what I /have/ to do is "svk sync; svk update" because as I said
in my first email I've got a WC of //mirrors/gnucash/branches/swig-redo
in $PWD.

I just don't want to have to think about whether $PWD is a WC of
a mirror or a WC of a local branch.  I could have tens or hundreds
of WCs lying around as I work on different projects.  What I want
is a single command that is:

   sync
   smerge (if necessary)
   update

I /thought/ that "pull" would do what I wanted, but clearly not..  It's
not smart enough to notice that there's no "branch" to merge from and
instead it should skip the merge step and just perform the sync and update.
