Excuse me?  Are you saying you are going to make Revision numbers completely 
useless, instead of mostly useless, by taking away the ability to increment them 
manually?  Everyone will have large and useless revisions like 1.231 and not be 
able to bump them up to 2.0?  What possible reason could you have for breaking 
this behavior?

p.s. yes, I know that conventional wisdom was to not use Revision numbers as 
version numbers, but plenty of people do it.  I've never seen a justification 
for that limitation.  I use 'commit -r' and the '$Revision: $' construct all the 
time, and I can still walk upright...
