I have the 0.2 version of the undelete plugin working with the
revision spec option. (help at end of the mail). Basically, the
usage in now consistent with the log command that takes
a --revision spec and also supports --limit.

I would appreciate any comment on the code[1] (and usage) in
case I have missed some finer points.

I have added a bunch of tests (ten) and will be adding some
more over the next few days.

Regarding integration into bzr core, I am fine with both, the
--undelete option as well as a separate command, the only
concern being where would --find fit in (ls?) if we go with the
--undelete option. Any ideas/thoughts?

  Note that --limit and --revision are mutually exclusive.
  For revision filtering, the older revision should be specified
  on the left. For e.g.,
    -r -5.. will search backwards from the current revision to
            (current - 5) revision.for file to undelete.
    -r 3..8 will search from revno:8 to revno:3 to undelete the
            latest known version of the specified file.
