Wow, I am getting really suggestible lately :-).

When Philip wrote "repository", I somehow interpreted it to mean
"revision". Even though repository clearly does not mean revision,
and we already have word that means revision, and it is revision :-).

Must be because they both begin with 'r'.

Anyway, yes, good point. I'm not totally thrilled with "--revprop",
but it's descriptive, and more accurate than "--repository".

Any other ideas, folks?
