The to syntax will only take 1 or 3 arguments, either "-r x" or "-r x to y". 
If you want to specify an open ended range you can use either "start" or 
"now" (maybe "end").

And you're right, for all those millions of people out there who have files 
called "to" it might look a bit funny when they type "bzr log -r 10 to". But 
it's well defined what it means.

Anyway we can argue about it more when I get it written the way I want. Which 
might be next week at this rate.

cheers
