Overall, this looks great.  If I understand this right, this doesn't
support entering revision ranges (abcd1234..ghjk568, HEAD~2, etc), but
you have to input each absolute revision?  I think that's actually fine,
because it composes with the proposed vc-log feature of marking commits
there and then applying vc-compose-patch on the commits.  Trying to
convert those into VCS specific revision ranges is probably asking for trouble.
