The problem is sometimes you want '-1', and sometimes you want
WorkingTree. Which is why -r X.. has been defined by the command.

For instance, 'log' has no working tree definition, it only does
committed revisions. But 'diff' would definitely want the ability to
diff against the working tree.

Same thing for why missing the beginning is command defined.
'bzr log -r ..X'  Log from the beginning until revision X
'bzr diff -r ..X' Possibly 'give me just the diff for X'. In my head it
is an okay way of introducing 'give me just the changeset for this
revision' rather than requiring people to write "bzr diff -r X-1..X" all
the time.
