OR if it's as important a use case as Pierre-Yves claims, add an
option. E.g. make

  hg fold [-r] REV...

(as implemented in my patch) the default. Then add

  hg fold --from REV

to restore the current (REV::.) behaviour.

Hmmm. Time for a poll? Here are the options:

  1) status quo: "hg fold REV" and "hg fold -r REV" are different

  2) my proposal: "hg fold [-r] REV...", with --from option
     to satisfy people who like the current "hg fold REV" semantics

  3) Pierre-Yves' proposal: "hg fold [-r] REV" same as current
     "hg fold REV", with "hg fold --only REV..." option to
     satisfy people who like the current "hg fold -r REV..." semantics

I'm pretty sure no one will vote for #1. Go ahead, surprise me!

Sounds like Sean, Augie, and I are for #2.

Clearly Pierre-Yves likes #3. Who else?

Vote early, vote often.
