  IMHO no, needing `--exact` is actually confusing to almost every user we've talked to, and they'd instead expect that to be the default behavior, with "fold up to this commit" being the one that needs a specific flag.

I suspect other places may want something similar (e.g. it'd make sense in `rebase --dest`, so I changed revsingle to add the behavior.
