Hi,
The first patch implements Jakub's suggestion. Arguably, it's slightly
complicated- it took me more than a few minutes to do the math with
`nr` and `nr_i`.
The second patch clarifies the meaning of the `-<n>` option. We should
also probably force the mutual exclusivity of `-<n>` and <revision
range> to avoid confusion.
Additionally, thanks to Thomas for drilling into me the fundamental
difference between -<n> and a revision range (on IRC).
