I don't know. But with RCS, the branch and the revision are the same
thing, i.e. the revision number also encodes the branch. So it isn't
important really. (Same with CVS.)

I think all the 3 of the modern dVCSes have branches as very important
feature and the users are aware of them.

We could lose the gegegege part.

There's nothing else in Git that's comparable to a revision number, I
think.
