plans for 0.0.6 release

[Erik Bågfors]

My take on this, since everyone else has said so much about it.

: is good because it's used in svn and cvs so people will know it. It
also represents ranges in python if I don't remember wrong.  On the
other hand, it's also VERY nice to use it to do revid:id etc.  When I
think about colon I see it used for that more.  Like a label
"label:value". Because of this, I don't think : is good in the long
run.  But it's not that bad.

"-r 5 to 15" like someone sugested is not good.  It's not working the
same way as any other program. I expect the -r option to take one
argument, not one OR three. Very strange.  It also give you problems
where "-r 5 6 to" and "-r 5 to 6" get's very different meaning, hard
to understand.

-r5-15 can be read as "5 to 15", or "5 minus 15" or "-r5 -15".  It's
not a good choise.  Besides, I love to be able to do "-r-5" to get the
last five revisions

"-r5 -r15", using -r twice. I've just never liked to use the same
options twice. But there are other program that does this.  It's clear
what it does but it looks ugly.  You can also do "-r-2 -r-1" to get
the changed between the second to last and the last revision.

"-r5..15". that ".." represent a range is very clear in my mind.  This
could be because of perl and ruby that both uses them for it. You can
also do "-r-2..-1"  which is pretty clear. This is a clear choise for
me.

I also think that "-rrevid:id..revid:id" looks very clean.

On the other hand, I'm not very found of "bzr cat foo at 5" I prefer "bzr
cat -r5 foo". But that's not what this discussion is about!

Cheers,
Erik
