Besides, you need [constant] network access for this mapping.
I _think_ that Aaron was trying to say that

	abentley@panoramicfeedback.com-20060927202832-9795d0528e311e31

is always constant, so you can use that.

Of course, nobody will ever do that, because in practice they're not 
shown, the same way the "true" BK revision names were never shown and thus 
never really used.
By the way, I wonder if accidentally identical revisions
(see example for accidental clean merge on revctrl.org)
would get the same revision id in bzr. In git they would.
They won't. The revision id is made up of the committers email address,
a timestamp and a bunch of random data. It wouldn't be hard to switch
using checksums as revids instead, but I don't think there are any plans
in that direction.

Cheers,

Jelmer
