On the contrary, r116644 is eminently readable and memorisable, so much
so that I was able to transfer it to a "bzr log -r116644" instruction
without even having to bother with copy and paste.
Earlier on in the evening, I'd just done an informal bisect on the CC
Mode repository using "hg cat -r768", etc. Worked like a dream.
Things are a bit different if you've got to use some arbitrary head of
something like df91e9880a3156ae1d236e88f.....
