It would be really nice if the help for specifying revisions was added
to the hg help system. Currently, it's buried in the man page and with
the existing of the hg help system and the fact that the man page
mostly just contains the same information as the hg help system....

e.g., hg help revisions giving the explaination from the hg man page.

Would also be nice to put in hg help environment for help on the env
variables, hg help hgrc for help on the .hgrc file and settings, etc.
I.e., so that the hg help system contained everything.


Finally, is there a way to use the date as a revision specifier?

Thanks,
John
