why not include a scope, using the basename of the workspace/repo (or
some other repo-defined keyword) followed by the integer revision
number?

        onnv-gate:142
        on10-patch:142
        jmcp-random-bugfix:142

This is more a proposal for what goes into places where %I% is used now;
the details (specific format, separator character, and interpolation
mechanism -- SCCS style?  RCS-style?  One keyword/token?  Multiple
tokens?) need to be worked out.
