If we want to have a useful support for disconnected set of commits,
"--no-walk" is not the way to go, I would say.
Imagine "among the 7-patch topic merged, the second commit (i.e.,
topic~5) and the final 3 (i.e., topic~3..topic) need to go". You'd
want to be able to say (without going into details of the syntax)
revert topic~5 topic~3..topic
The setup_revisions() parser is still the right thing to use to
parse the command line arguments and pick out "topic~5" and
"topic~3..topic", but instead of letting prepare_revision_walk()
turn them into a single contiguous set of revisions, you'd need to
check revs->cmdline->rev[] and
(1) treat singleton as its own disconnected island that require no
walking,
(2) treat A..B as a range and independently walk them, and
(3) dedup the result from cmdline->rev[] elements into a set of
commits that are potentially disconnected.
I agree 100% that this topic should not attempt to deal with a
disconnected set of commits. That can and should be done as a
separate series.
