Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add sequence number to 'xm info'

This patch causes the short changeset id or sequence number to be
included on the 'xen_changeset' line in the 'xm info' output.

We plan to use this sequence number as a very fuzzy way of sorting
test reports so that we can start looking for trends.  While we know
it won't result in a perfect ordering of changesets for reporting, it
will help us get close.

So if the new format is
xen_changeset : Wed Sep 28 13:06:49 2005 +0100 7120:5e5ae8340956 This is a bad idea. If you want to compare two changesets, you already have the full date right in front of you!

The revision number is a convenience for *local* operations, for example 'hg export 7033:7035'. It obviously should never be compared across different repositories "and just hope things work out ok."
