I think, restricting the number of revisions in advance is a crutch,
but to always ask the user is a tripping stone.
I would imagine, when using the history, the most common use case
is looking back at a fairly small number of change-sets. At least
I use it, to get an overview of the last changes people have done
to a file. Having now to enter a fairly arbitrary number each time in 
advance
to looking at the history would be a nuisance to me.
