Revnos for merged revisions

Registered by Martin Pool

It would be good to assign short revision numbers for merged-in revisions. One possible syntax is 123.3.2, where the initial number could indicate either where the revision originally came from or (perhaps better) where it merged in. The indented log display (aka "merge-sorted") gives a deterministic ordering for all revisions, and could be used to assign these numbers deterministically for any particular branch.
