Remote lookup is currently not being rewritten according secret. This could be
seen as a bug but I'm not enthousiasmed by the fact that the following commands
return different thing

    hg id -r <some-lookup> repo
    hg -R repo id -r <some-lookup>

(with some-lookup any of tip, <branch-name>, <bookmarks>, …)

We now have a new topic tagged "unexpected behavior we need to decide".
