Hi Karl,

The follow parent feature uses it, with the foo@NNN version being the parent branch.

For example, if I'm tracking http://example.com/project/trunk, but it was created from http://example.com/old-project at revision 76 (before they used the trunk/branches/tags convention), then the contents of http://example.com/old-project would show up as the ref trunk@75, and the trunk ref would start as r76 with the ref trunk@75 as its parent.
