I think Pasky gave rev-list just as an example, as I am sure there are other lowlevel core tools, that share this same unfriendliness. Primarily, these tools are meant for scripting, and not for end-user interactive use. For this reason, it is not high on my priority list to add --help to the lowlevel core tools, although it would be nicer to have.
