I never use that revid info, whereas I do occasionally use the revno,
because I can immediately tell (without having to remember which bzr
command to run) if it's "recent enough".
Before that, I used the timestamp which (in my experience) works just as
well anyway, so all this "include revision info" business is of no real
importance for me.
