> I think the revset language is cool and powerful, but if I'm honest, it's tempting me to spend too much time trying to master, when 99% of the time all I need is, "show me the nearby ancestors and descendants within k revisions".

I just spend enough time to write a new function for what I want to do, and then just know the basics for regular day to day stuff. I feel like that gets me really far.

Yeah, I've done that as well. I wonder if the revset docs should be split into "Basic" and "Advanced" sections.
