Of course it works as long as you accept the implicit requirements of
supporting them and ignore the cases where they change out from
underneath the user.  But as soon as users want to embrace distributive
models where there isn't a central shared repo, at best revno's are
unhelpful and at worst they are counterproductive.  The proof of this
is that if revno's were sufficient bzr wouldn't need revid's.

Since the utility provided by revno's seems so minimal even in the
case where they do work, Git simply doesn't bother with them.  And
"our" experience is that Git really does work well without them.
