Should "hg --cwd DIR push RELATIVE" treat RELATIVE wrt DIR?

I just tried

  hg --cwd ./debian push ../other-branch/debian

and it failed:

  pushing to ../other-branch/debian
  abort: repository ../other-branch/debian/.hg not found!

It looks like hg is changing to ./debian before interpreting the
destination path since this worked:

  hg --cwd ./debian push ../../other-branch/debian

I wasn't sure if this was intended behavior.  It does mean that you
can't use tab-completion for a relative destination when using --cwd.
