No, ~ means "approximately" in alot of cases.  If I were to tell
someone "that was done in revision ~104".  That means it was added in
about that revision number.  I think it will be confusing if we add
another meaning to it.

I think this is very usefull. svn uses : already, so lot's of people
are used to it.
