  > I'm fine with marking the use of `-r` experimental. I don't like the idea 
of delaying this feature two months. Any problem with marking it experimental 
for now? As usual with experimental features, that will allow us to rename the 
flag (and change other behavior) before we take it out of experimental.
  
  Aside from (obviously) @marmoute, both Jordi and I had an instant reaction of 
"what?" when we learned what `--rev` meant.
  
  I think that this goes against the intuition of at least a few people that 
are very accustomed to `hg`. While being able to operate on any particular rev 
could be a good - even great - idea in general, I am very uneasy about using 
`--rev` to qualify that target. I don't know if `--target-rev` is an option, 
but something similar would be much clearer that an already *extremely* common 
flag. This would shift the semantics of `--rev` in some commands and not in 
others.
