Re: Specifying revisions in the future

The rule should be to follow the leftmost parent as far as possible.

But then, if --first-parent doesn't reach the commit you want, there may
be several paths not following --first-parent that reach it. And you'll
have to invent some more rules to order them.

Sure, that's not impossible, but is the complexity really worth it?
