No thanks.


This use the be the default and ended up being very confusing. The vast 
majority of fold operation involve the working directory and an 
ancestors (something a descendant). The default should reflect that.
Also, we should not requires user to have a PhD in revset to use Mercurial.

So, I'm deeply convince the default should be "fold between . and REV".

How ever I agree than having different behavior for `hg fold REV` and 
`hg fold --rev REV` sucks. I also agree that the "do an in memory fold 
of unrelated changeset" usecase is nice. We should think about a 
dedicated flag for this case.
