Till, do you want to see the most recent commit, a behaviour which could
be expressed as "-r PREV:COMMITTED"? If so, the syntax we would choose
if we do implement this would probably be "-c COMMITTED". "-c PREV"
which would mean "show what was changed in the commit before the most
recent one", and I don't think that's what you want.
