Thanks, but making this function a command will take more than just
adding the interactive form.  I think we need at least:

  . mention that in interactive usage the command prompts for the
    argument (why do we have to prompt for REV, btw?)
  . announce the change in NEWS
  . maybe update the user manual
  . maybe make the command fall back to 'checkout' method if 'clone'
    is not supported

> +    (when (file-directory-p directory)
> +      (if (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
> +          (find-file directory)
> +        directory))))

This changes the value returned by the function from what it did
before, no?
