Yes, I am depending on the revision parser to balance the left and
right items.  I thought about having a BUG check but it seemed
unnecessary.  On the other hand, I'm avoiding depending on its
*placement* of left and right items.  Being more defensive might
be good here.

(I had a version of this that also implemented Junio's suggestion
of not first marking all bases, then unmarking the chosen base,
but in the end it came out to the same amount of code.  I could
resurrect that if anyone cares.)
