If you can think of a useful and intuitive syntax that doesn't
conflict with the current options, we could extend status to compare
working directory relative to a specified revision or to compare two
revisions (like diff can).

Currently the problem is:

 -r --removed    show only removed files

If we add a --rev option, people will probably try to abbreviate it
with -r, which is already taken by --removed. On the other hand
using status against different revisions is not the main usage of
status, so this is probably not a big problem.

What do others think?
Should 'hg status' accept up to two --rev parameters like diff?
