Someone pointed out privately that p() here means parent _changeset_,
and not parent _repository_.  Sorry for misunderstanding.

The lack of an 'active' file is one of the underlying issues that's
problematic with hg on a day-to-day usage basis.  I really don't like
futzing with ssh bits and waiting eons to get hg active data.

That (rather big) issue aside, I agree with Bill that it ought to be
analogous to 'diff', because a webrev _is_ just a formalized 'diff'
presented for review.  It's not an extraction.
