What's nice is being able see the revno 753 and knowing that "diff -r
752..753" will show the changes it introduced. Checking the revo on a
branch mirror and knowing how out-of-date it is.

Huh? If you want what changes have been introduced by commit
c3424aebbf722c1f204931bf1c843e8a103ee143, you just do

# git diff c3424aebbf722c1f204931bf1c843e8a103ee143

(or better "git show" instead of "git diff" or "git diff-tree").
If you give only one commit (only one revision) git automatically
gives diff to its parent(s).

If a revision has multiple parents, what does it diff against in this
case?  Do you get one diff against each parent revision?
