Why is it important enough to install on emacs-30?  The situation
sounds quite rare to me.

Moreover, I'm not sure the change is correct in general.  If you
invoke "C-x v l" with an argument, the prompt says "...(default: last
revision)".  It says "last", and doesn't say anything about the
working revision.  So I don't understand why you say the current
operation of the command is incorrect even when the tip and the
current working revision are different.  I think this is precisely a
use case where the user should invoke the command with a prefix arg
and specify the revision from which to start.

Am I missing something?
