        Of course, Git does not have it! Svn has it so it *must* be a bad

PS: FWIW, I agree with you. Plus, there is another use case where
sequential number are very useful: each time you want to operate on
a past revision in your own repository (e.g "hg up n" or "hg diff -r
n"), it is much easier to designate that revision with a sequential
number than with the hash.
