I think we're getting into scratched-record-mode on this.

I apologize if I've come across as beating a dead horse on this. I've
really tried to only respond where I still confused, or there are
explicit indications that the reader hasn't understood what I was
saying, ("I don't understand how you've come to that conclusion",
etc.). I'll be even more careful about that below, labeling paragraphs
as "I'm missing something" or "Maybe I wasn't clear".

G: So use revids everywhere.

B: Revnos are handier tools for [situation] and [situation] for
   [reason] and [reason].

I'm missing something:

I still haven't seen strong examples for this last claim. When are
they handier? I asked a couple of messages back and two people replied
that given one revno it's trivial to compute the revno of its
parent. But that's no win over git's revision specifications,
(particularly since they provide "parent of" operators).

I would say that: revnos are handier tools than revids...etc

I think that since G: was making a statement about revids, B: was making
an implicit comparison with them.

being handier than
