I'm confused: there are any number of revisions that match this
definition. You wanted just one.
Put it another way: AFAIU, "-r ancestor:" _requires_ a branch
specifier. Which branch do you want to specify there? I assumed it
was the parent of the current branch. If you want the trunk instead,
we could either use http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk
(requires a live connection and Savannah being up) or we could chase
the parent pointers until we find a branch whose parent is on
Savannah.
But it sounds like this is academic: it will be too slow to be a part
of the build, because "bzr version-info" is slow.
