(I haven't answered this yet because I needed to think about this some
more before answering)

Good question.

It was not that intentional, but I think it is good as I did it.

The help of clone for -u says:

 -u --updaterev REV     revision, tag or branch to check out

Let's say we have a tag X that happens to refer to the same revision as
the @ bookmark and we specified '-u X'.

Would we then want to see "updating to bookmark @"? I'd say no.

Next question is: what if the user says "-u @"?

I'd still say no, because the @ has been "converted" to a revision by
the lookup logic, and the user just specified a specific revision to
update to. That revision just happens to be the one @ refers to.

But I think if we wanted we *could* detect "-u @" and treat that as
equivalent. But I think it is ok if we don't do that.
