The only issue I have with bzr's revno's and truly distributed setup is
that, by looking at the table, it seems to claim that you have found
some miraculous way to make revnos work without a central server. Since
everyone agrees that they don't, this should IMO be listed as mutually
exclusive features.

The "simple namespace" is both a URL and a revno.

And therefore, it's just as distributed and decentralized as the web.

There is very little difference between this:

http://example.com/mywebpage#5

And this:

http://example.com/mybranch 5

In fact, we've been planning to unify them into one identifier.

Well, then it is not much simpler than 8-chars sha1. And sha1 is more
decentralized, because you can use it when you don't have access to net,
and when the _central_ revno server is down.
