Well, you would not know if the user gave you '-g' before you

ask setup_revisions() to parse the options, and once you let it

do its thing, you would not know if it also found an explicit

output format given by the end user, so your cannot sanely make

default depend on '-g'.
I suspect that it would have to be either somewhat involved or

outright hacky.
