Okay, then. Are you okay with keeping the same options? (See proposed
patch below.)

I can live with it. But what do you think of this in addtion? It
replaces -k, -r, -s in favor of rev-list arguments.
...
A subset of commits in a branch used to be specified by options (-k, -r)
as well as the branch tip itself (-s). It is more natural (for git users)
to specify revision ranges like 'master..next' instead. This makes it so.
If no range is specified it defaults to 'HEAD'.

FWIW, I find this much more sensible and gittish ;-)
