Yes, it covers the most common case, but it would be much more interesting to be able to say "go back N versions", as such a feature implies the "prev" behaviour as well. > The question is whether PREV and HEAD (and perhaps other symbolic names) > should be bound to one branch (i.e. the one of the current checked out > tree) or whether it should be global and possibly cross branches. > That's a good point. My gut feeling is that the currently-checked-out branch "should" be used, defaulting to trunk if there is no checkout (that said, i think we once had a thread where the user had removed or renamed his trunk branch to something else). Or maybe a syntax like branch_name:symbolic_name (which of course only works as long as nobody uses ':' in their branch names). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal
