--- Comment #5 from Jérémie Roquet <jroq...@arkanosis.net> ---
Hi everyone,

This is just my opinion, but I don't think the current behavior is less
intuitive than the suggested one — rather the opposite, actually:
 - the left parameter is what will be shown on the left side of your screen and
the right parameter on the right side (remember that it's possible to diff
revisions in whatever order you want; it'll just display the diff leftside
right);
 - this syntax is consistent with Diff/<oldid>/next and Diff/<oldid>/cur
(arguably, it's not with Diff/<newid>/prev, though);
 - this is similar to the syntax of popular VCS, such as subversion (svn diff
-c newid vs svn diff -r oldid:newid) and git (git show newid vs git diff
oldid:newid).

If anything is to be changed, for me it would be to make “prev”, “next” and
“cur” usable both as first and second parameters (with the result of
Diff/<newid>/prev syntax meaning the opposite of what it means today, ie. newid
shown on the left and prev shown on the right).

Best regards,
