As long as we do not rebase, git log --pretty=format: | wc -l is actually pretty close to a revision number, and it's reasonably quick to compute. The number will be meaningful only within a single branch. It's also prudent to capture the head commit hash when the number is generated because subsequent merges may make it complicated to map the number back to the original branch head when the number was computed. > ISTM that within that namespace, folks ought to have the freedom to > use whatever works for them.

They could use a completely separate repository, too, and still have working merges from mainline.
