Of course.  :-)

I don't think it's too generic, necessarily, as I think one normally
associates generic commands with operations on revisions, but it sort
of seems funny in the presence of show_conflicts.  I thought of
'view', but that's not so much a command to be performed as an action
to be taken by the user, which might be a metaphor shear.

The name might be a bikeshed issue.  ;-)
