"Annoying"? That's hardly a good technical argument. (I realize you're
quoting a previous thread and that it's not your argument.)

The revision is not unlike a timestamp. Would one complain that every
check-in has a unique timestamp?

In other file-oriented systems, one checks out a previous snapshot of a
part of the database using a timestamp. In Subversion, one grabs that same
snapshot by revision number. I find the revision number more accurate and
reliable.
