Re: Specifying revisions in the future

You mean, the opposite of <commit>^ or <commit>~n?

AFAIK, there isn't, and there's a good reason for that: <commit>^ is well-defined, it's the first parent of <commit>, and it won't change unless one rewrites this commit.

"the successor of <commit>", OTOH, is not well defined, since there can be several successors, and one can't order them reliably (you can't really know the set of successors, because they can exist in different repositories).
