I admit it is a bit weird. The reason for this was to make support for specifying revisions with something as fuzzy as dates more usable. Originally I modified commit-id to support it, but I've tried to move the logic to the new cg-Xnormid to just give an idea. It is suppose to add support for
$ cg-log -r '2005-05-12':'1 day ago'
but for some reason it seems to only work as expected for commits by you. That is it works as expected when I specify the dates for cogito-0.9 and cogito-0.10.
Of course supporting revisions via date specifications can lead to ambiguity problems when the date contains `HH:MM' because the colon can confuse -r option parsing. This means that either a new option needs to be added (-D?) or the rev1:rev2 case has to be handled after all options has been parsed so that `-r date1 -r date2' can be handled correctly.
