Here, how about a quote: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/RevisionNumber "Pitfalls "Revision numbers referring to changesets are very likely to be different in another copy of a repository. Do not use them to talk about changesets with other people. Use the changeset ID instead." So I wouldn't really say that is "just fine."
