An r is clear for us who lives with subversion. This is the first text
that meets a user when she/he opens the CHANGES file. r7859 are for
nerds like us. Revision 7859 are for humans. CHANGES is a very public
file.
I understand that the book are using 'r' throughout many places, but I
think that users know what 'r' is when they have been reading some
pages.

So IMHO:
+1 on revision and 0 on 'r'
