It would also be useful to set the order - in the subversion bundle  
when I do a diff, 99.99% of the time I want to diff with BASE so I  
would like to do control A d rather than control A d down down.   
Similarly I would find it better if revert were before resolve and  
status before show all modifications.  Minor quibbles on an excellent  
bundle.
