Preferences? : : The latter, unless you've figured out a way to have the counter updated : on a per-branch basis. (Counters should only be incremented when a file : on that branch is touched, else keeping track of the 'state' of the tree : is too difficult.) Actually, having a strict incremental counter is fine, even with branching. If I make a commit to branch X that is number 100, an then 20 commits happen on the main line, and than I make another commit on branch X (now commit number 121) branch X happens to be the same for numbers 100-120, but I don't see that being a big deal. I don't think we need per branch counters and they would just confuse things. But then again, I've used perforce and like their change number for a good "rough" incremental "tag".
