So there's really no distinction between descendents of a
node-revision, even though one of them looks primary and the rest look
secondary. Okay. (I can't come up with any reasonable numbering
system which avoids this artificial distinction, so I guess we just
live with that foible.)

That's an interesting departure from CVS, whose log command shows
information about branches, as well as information about the future of
the file you're looking at. But I'm certainly willing to try it out
and see how many people complain.
