You might be interested in a standalone alternative:

[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/fossil]$ f-resolve trunk current prev rid:1
ee46563cbdc28face0215bc1a5cf81f0b589d88a   26866 trunk
ca5d6f2b482bd08c58886b0fd4a96aaffc56f893   26901 current
d8902124d481ced2a800fc3ec4d3212640c25563   26899 prev
a28c83647dfa805f05f3204a7e146eb1f0d90505       1 rid:1

that's available in the libfossil sources:

and has already been created as a standalone binary with documented
