Both BEGIN and END are optional. If + BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END + is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means + "all revisions". + + If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse + order. + + A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5 + gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
