Note, however, that the information can be recursive; if r23490 is in
turn a merge of some other revisions, the original revisions of that
merge would have to be printed too, with another level of indentation.
(This is not a contrived case, it happens in practice all the time for
us.)

My feeling is that it may be good enough to leave out r23490 itself in
that case, and only print all the original revisions (i.e. the leaf
nodes in the merge tree) in one flat list. I'm not sure if all users
would agree with that though.
