[RFC] Trying to get something better that revno:N:branch to deal with remote revs

On Thu, Aug 17, 2006 at 02:05:35PM +0200 I heard the voice of
Vincent LADEUIL, and lo! it spake thus:
>

> 
> bzr diff --or 3 --nr 4 --ob ./branch1 --nb ./branch
>

> bzr diff  http://remote/branch --old_rev 3 http://somewhere/else --new_rev 4 
>

Well, those all suffer from the same problem; there's a --or and --ob
that are 'together' logically, but they're separate
representationally.  The advantage of "revno:123:http://foo/bar" is
that it's one thing that's together and together.  I kinda like that
revspec extension, since it's then easy to generalize to other specs,
like revid: and before: and so on.
