I think both are ugly (sorry!) :)  ... but my concern with  
revno:N:path is that it kinda conflates the concepts of branch and  
revision.

For example, it lets you give a command that is syntactically correct  
but makes no sense:

$ bzr log -r "revno:23:http://example.com/gcc".."revno:16:http:// 
example.com/nautilus"
