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. Cheers, Jelmer -- Jelmer Vernooij - http://jelmer.vernstok.nl/ Currently playing:
