Yes, and IIRC that's why there is some prominent people on the git
community that miss sequential revision numbers.

Exactly. Revision numbers are okay when you know the branch, but a
potential source of confusion on any other case.

And the message that I'm trying to send is that you already did the
really useful part. I also build Emacs from git and I think it is a good
thing to put the bzr revid on them. The difficulties you are facing now
is with a bit of information that is not really required, once you have
the revid, so I'll say don't bother with it and thank you for your work
:-)
