Oh, but there is (or should be). If you think about it, it is possible 
for three or more repositories to contain the same head revision without 
necessarily having identical histories. So if revision 
b632c7b9bda8e2df8b392b3606d554398e6ddb97 isn't included in the revision 
history of *your* repository, you would have no way of ever matching an 
out-of-band file to your revision history.
