Well his point was that they have pulled from each other directly or
indirectly.  You can safely say that rev 00aabbcc.. in _any_ repository
is the same rev.  This discussion started because of doubt expressed
by some here on the list that the "simple" numbering scheme used by
bzr can offer the same guarantee.  That is, rev 1.2.1 may be completely
different commits in different repos in bazaar.

Just in case it wasn't clear, this is drop dead easy in Git too.

Why?  Uncommitted changes shouldn't be propagated.  Once you have cloned
the repo, you can checkout your own copy of the working tree files.
