No. The setup_revisions() function knows if it saw a revision
argument from the command line, but currently uses got_rev_args
local variable, so the caller would not be able to tell. I was
suggesting to use "struct rev_info *revs" that goes in and comes out
of the function to convey that information back to the caller.
But it turns out that it is not even needed. Read on.

Didn't I already say not to switch on argv[0] in deeper side of the
callchain?

No. I do not want any patch that butchers setup_revisions() with
any of this kind of UI issues.
Something like this, I think, would work. After all, we already
have a way to expose the revs we got from the command line to the
caller.
The "bad HEAD and no revs..." part, if we choose not to even error
on this, can be removed.
Also other cmd_frotz() functions in the same file might want to use
the s/"HEAD"/default_to_head_if_exists()/ conversion.
