If we ever add remotes more officially, I think we could factor out this
code to take them into effect. The first iteration of this patch added a
convenience function to destutils.py to look up the default base revision.
I decided to inline it for the time being. We could always extract it to
destutils.py so a remotes extension could monkeypatch it.
