Irrelevant either way; bzr revisions are discreet points on a branch.  A
point in time along the branch timeline will always refer to a single
revision.

But this is orthogonal to my argument; the VCS should not change the code;
alreayd this thread is exploring the difficulty in storing these CVS turds,
expanding them, checking for ones that haven't changed; it's a lot of work
for no gain, IMHO.

-1 to the "feature".
