No. Subversion's global revision number, whilst initially surprising to people with a background in cvs, is actually a great
advantage once you get used to it.

Have you ever tried to change the log message for a multi-file cvs commit?
You have to look up the revision of each individual file, and apply the change to each. Not so with subversion.

If you want to see the diff for a multi-file cvs commit, you have to find the date of the commit, and use a date range. Not so with
subversion.
