I understand your argument now.  It's nothing to do with numbers per se,

I don't know if that is what Carl's problem is, but yes, to somebody from 
the git world, it's totally insane to have the _same_ commit have ten 
different names just depending on which branch is was in.

In git-land, the name of a commit is the same in every branch.

Do you have something like

	gitk --all

in your graphical viewers? That one shows _all_ the branches of a 
repository, and how they relate to each other in git. How do you name your 
commits in such a viewer, since every branch has a _different_ name for 
the same commit?
