switch to a past revision

Martin Pool, and lo! it spake thus:

Related to this (and something I mentioned in IRC the other week),
there's no way to get the revision of the working tree.  e.g, if I
have a branch with 600 revisions, and create a [lightweight] checkout
at revision 500, I don't have any way to easily tell later what
revision I checked out.  `bzr revno` tells me the branch revision, but
not which my working tree is at.  The closest I can get is the
"Working tree is out of date: missing N revisions." in bzr info, but
that's a whole lot of other irrelevant info for answering the specific
question, as well as requiring me to do subtraction (and that's what
computers are supposed to do!)
