On this subject, wouldn't be  more intuitive to generalise  the -r swith
each time a revision is required  (even for  hg  update and other similar
commands).... I must each time ask myself if -r is required or not depending
on the hg command I use.... But perhaps my brain is not very well design for
that task (it has some difficulties with birthday dates too :-)
