These caught my eye browsing through my inbox. I'm not a subtree user.

Are you sure you want this? It prints each argument of the 'debug' invocation on its own line.

Same here.

But here I'm pretty sure that this is not wanted; the original is clearly correct.

When the arguments of a script or function are to be printed for the user's entertainment/education, then it is safer (and, therefore, idiomatic) to use "$*".

It is idiomatic to write this as

	for oldrev
	do

(But your move from bare $* to quoted "$@" fits better under the "fix quoting" topic of this patch.)

This works by accident. When $tree is empty, this reduces to 'test -z', which happens to evaluate to true, just what we want. But it be appropriate to put $tree in double-quotes nevertheless.
