Hmm, "monotone cat manifest | sha1sum" gives a hash that matches what
"monotone cat revision" says it should.  But "monotone cat revision |
sha1sum" doesn't seem to give the hash of the revision.  I wonder why
that is?  Is the revision hash the hash of the packed form (base64,
gzipped, or whatever it is now)?
