This is inconvenient for me in practice.  I use bzr-svn to collaborate with coworkers who use svn, and I sometimes need to know the svn revision number of one of my commits, for example so that I can say "fixed in svn r12345".  At the moment I work around bzr not knowing this by using "svn log svn+ssh://foo/bar" to find out the revno of my change.
