Yes I could have been more clear. I meant significant to the project
vs. significant to the repository. I don't think the revision number
of the repository is of much significance with respect to the
project. I.e. it can change by thousands and it doesn't mean that
the project has a thousand additions or bug fixes or features added.
It could just mean that someone went through and applied something
like svn:eol-style=native using an inefficient script. It is of
course significant with respect to the repository. The idea that
someone might treat it as a project version number, when it simply
isn't anything like that, is where people run into trouble.
