Description
Sometimes I lose track of which recordings I've made and which I want to keep. It would be nice if rr had command line commands to manage recordings by name so you can do things like:
$ rr list
firefox-0
firefox-1 (latest)
firefox-4
$ rr mv firefox-0 firefox-bug123-repro
$ rr rm firefox-1 # maybe rr rm latest, too
$ rr replay firefox-bug123-repro
I can of course do this by moving directories around in ~/.rr. But it would be nice just like it's nice with Mercurial queue management.
