Just a thought: You could define invalid to be zero, and start the
repository with revision 1 instead of zero. For us C coders, it makes sense
that the first item be number zero, but the rest of the world starts with 1.
Then you get 4 billion revisions instead of 2 billion.

Like it matters anyway. ;)
