Is there any reason not to have `lock-revision -b' default to using the same
revision as commit would?  _Every_ single time I've used that command that's
been the revision name I used, and it's a slight pain to come up with the
proper patch number, and type everything out.

Also, could the signing script be invoked before the lock is acquired?  I
usually have to use `lock-revision -b' because I type my gpg pass-phrase
incorrectly 3 times in a row...
