This bug needs a (possibly XFAILed) test written.

"monotone log" with no further arguments, outside of a working directory, will default to listing the history of the empty manifest. This is counterintuitive and totally useless.

Rather, if --branch is provided, log should start with the head of that branch. If there are multiple heads, I'm not sure what the correct behaviour is -- probably it should either
-- log all heads
-- log all heads but print a warning that it is doing so
-- error out, listing the available heads and requesting
the user pick one.

If --branch is not provided, log should give an error message requesting that the user provide either a branch or a manifest id.
