I saw the term several times here and in the logs and like to
understand the concept to be able to test the changes (and of course to
benefit from them).

Thanks for the explanation. Can you give a short overview in which
cases you use a peg revision? I can't think of a situation where
I explicitly want to compare Revisions 200:300 of file_orig@100, but I
guess behind the scenes this is an important concept which makes all
that cool diff features possible, right?
Kind regards
Sven
