Me too... I might just do that, sometime... :)

Significant revision =
- has a tag
- is head revision on main branch
- is start point of a branch
- is end point of a branch
- is merge point origin or target (?)

Did I miss anything?

This also would mean that you would lose the last revision that had data if
the head revision (main branch or other branch) is a dead one. So maybe the
list of significant revisions should include the last non-dead revision on
any branch?
