Till, do you want to see the most recent commit, a behaviour which could be expressed as "-r PREV:COMMITTED"? If so, the syntax we would choose if we do implement this would probably be "-c COMMITTED". "-c PREV" which would mean "show what was changed in the commit before the most recent one", and I don't think that's what you want. - Julian > > Regards > > Till > > I see one problem with this approach. > The PREV revision might not be related to the path your working > copy came from.
