Fix for CODETOOLS-7901466?

[David DeHaven]

I've been gritting my teeth at this problem for a while, mostly just ignoring the excess comments in the output or using -C to disable comments entirely.

Today I'd had enough so I poked at this a bit and I think, from what I understand the reasons for adding --follow were, that simply changing --follow to --removed fixes this.

Post 3.4, the new behavior of --follow with -r simply changes the revision selection to reverse(::{rev}), so if we pass -r N:tip, this turns into reverse(::N:tip) which shows the entire history of the file. The second part of the description of --follow does not seem to apply when -r is specified, but --removed shows changesets where the file moved or was deleted which I believe was the point of adding --follow.

Thoughts?

Here's my proposed patch, that should work with pre-3.4 (though I've not tested it):
