[Monotone-devel] Issue 118 - mtn log direction control (monotone)

[code]

Hello,

A new issue has been created and assigned
to you:

118 - mtn log direction control
Project: monotone
Status: New
Reported by: Stephen Leake
Labels:
 Type:Incorrect Behavior
 Priority:Medium

Description:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------

1. mtn log --to h: --from w: --brief
2. mtn log --to h: --from w: --brief --next 10000 
3. mtn log --to h: --from w: --brief --last 10000
4. mtn log --to w: --from h: --brief

Expected result:
----------------
Listings 1 and 2 should have the same revisions, in the same order. 

Listings 1 and 3 should have the same revisions, 3 in reverse order

Listing 4 should be the same as listing 3

Actual results:
---------------
1 and 2 have different revisions; 3 is not reversed, 4 is the same as 2.

I suggest it would be best to have --to and --from specify the listing order. 
This is simple when each specifies a single revision; otherwise it is more 
complicated. Then a new option --limit could specify the max rev count without 
affecting the listing order.

Another solution would be an explicit --reverse option.

Output of `mtn version --full`:
-------------------------------
1.0dev
