For some reason, I had it in my mind that test_cmp_rev() was primarily meant for comparing _named_ revisions, but of course there is nothing about the function which even suggests that that is its intended use-case. In retrospect, using it to compare an OID against a named revision is a sensible use-case too, so I withdraw the objection.
