Oh, please, yes. Add a "-r" parameter or similar, please.

In my personal situation, many times "absorb" is unable to identify the
revision and it does nothing at all. Being able to explicitly indicate
the revision would be a godseed.

In those situations I must revert to old learned techniques like
importing in "mq" and doing the collapse there.

PS: I am using mercurial 4.8.2.
