The latter. It's an M:HEAD diff of URL1@HEAD, followed by an M:HEAD
diff of URL2@HEAD. (HEAD is only being used in two places because it's
the default for both N and for the peg rev. If you said "diff -rM:N
URL1 URL2", then it would be an M:N diff of URL1@HEAD followed by an M:N
diff of URL2@HEAD.)
If you want to diff URL1 against URL2, you don't use a -r parameter.
Maybe what you're getting at is that there's no way in my proposal to
say "diff URL1@R1-time-travelled-to-M against
URL2@R2-time-travelled-to-N". If we really want to support that, we
could (diff -r M:N --old=URL1@R1 --new=URL2@R2) but I'm not sure it's a
great idea. Maybe CMike has an opinion.
