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.
