The -r option has a mandatory argument - and I think it is good that
the argument is mandatory. If it is optional, there is room for
ambiguous interpretation and mistakes.

Also, I'm not sure if the commandline parser would handle.

CVS resemblance is mostly a good thing... but I would say that it is
better to have things said explicitly than assumed from arguments. It
is a bit more learning, but doesn't cause mistakes so easily and makes
the intent clean.
