It'll have the same revision name. The revision no's will be different, sure, but that's not a problem.

revnos are the only naming bit that is branch-specific.
I guess one way of looking at revnos is to regard them completely as a command-line ui thing. They're not explicitly stored anywhere on disk but just an easy way for users to refer to revisions on a per-branch basis.
The graphical frontends to bzr, for example, don't know about revno's but only about revids.
