My terminology was fuzzy/incorrect. By "revision," I meant "changeset" rather 
than "snapshot."

The main thrust of that article is about the value of viewing VCS history as a 
sequence of changesets rather than a sequence of snapshots. FWIW, svnmerge and 
SVN 1.5 Merge Tracking are changeset-oriented rather than snapshot-oriented.
