It can serve both purposes: switch to a branch when REVISION specifies
a branch (as in 1.2.1.1), otherwise commit as the named REVISION. But
that's another issue.
Yes, this also affects all the subsequent commits, but that cannot be
had with a dVCS.

Indeed. But it comes close, and is the most you can have for this
functionality. So instead of saying we don't support it at all, why
not use tags and say we support it as best as we can?
