Bonjour Vincent. Yes using append_revisions_only would be great. However, it would require changing the years-old habits of 100 people. They would be problems in the beginning; I would have to dissipate quite some energy to explain, re-explain, fix, and that's not something I can do short-term. Even though it comes back regularly on my long-term plans.
Yes our devs should know that revnos are unreliable in our case, and some do know. I was more worried about the case where one forgets about this; it's not so easy to remember that the revno which "bzr pull -v" prints at the end of its execution is already out-of-date when it's printed (i.e. is unusable).
But if there is a UI rule that the revno has to be displayed... case is closed, let's print it :-)
