I would have to say that "-g" support was hacked into the normal
revision traversal machinery in such a way to minimize the
amount of changes, without refactoring the two completely
different traversal machineries separate to make the resulting
code maintainable.  Ideal refactoring would require quite a lot
of changes, unfortunately.  I would say it probably would make
sense to make the two options incompatible for now.
