Really? At present, emacs-bzr-version will contain something like:

106501 rgm@gnu.org-20111124035909-rx8lttx9f1j29t69

So it's not just a revision number. The second bit is "a globally unique
identifier for the revision so that it can be referred to without
ambiguity".

But it's trivial to add eg parent_location from branch.conf, if you
really think this is necessary.
