absorb extension: Suggestions

Hi all

Using the absorb extension for the first time left me impressed. But even
good things can be improved. I noticed the following (relatively minor) UI
issues:
1. It is easy to miss the fact that there are changes for which a suitable
past changeset could not be found. Perhaps add a little note at the end
stating this explicitly.
2. In some cases I know exactly which revision should be amended with my
changes, while the algorithm might believe differently. Interactive mode
helps but could be rather inconvenient in simple cases which at the same
time might affect many files (confirmation needed for each file). Would it
make sense to be able to specify a revision explicitly?

Thanks,
Marcus
