I am not completly sure what happens in revdep_check(pkg = "somepackage") .

Are you using the currently installed version of somepackage or is the package also downloaded from CRAN? And/or can I specify a path to the package instead of the package name (as in other devtools functions such as check) and run the reverse check on this package? I think the documentation should clarify these issues.

EDIT: I now do understand that revdep_check() needs to access CRAN in order to determine the reverse dependencies. However, I think one could add this to the manual (and the question which version of somepackage is used in this check stays open).
