So what's the superior equivalent in Git? My research leads me to think
that you're referring to the SHA-1 identifiers.

If so, I would argue 40-character hexadecimal strings are no better (and
no worse) than a Bazaar revision-id like the above. What advantage are
you seeing in Git's SHA-1 “names” that aren't also had from a Bazaar
revision-id?
