In a more perfect world, I'd go with the easily > recognizable and unambiguous IDs. Actually, if those revids were really mechanically usable, I think that would be good enough. But they're not "easily recognizable". It's hard to write a regexp that recognizes these without too many false positive, and even if you could do it, you'd still need to find out in which repository to look it up (when they appear within a file within that repository, it can be made to work, but when they appear in an email it's much more difficult to link it to the appropriate repository).
