This?

Thank you Fred, I presume you mean that the sequential revision numbers will no longer exist but I would appreciate confirmation.

GAN:
Excellent news (and decision). Thank you.

Mainly, yes.
The exact details on the below are still being evaluated. Outcome not yet known....
There will be options with "git describe", and such give you a way to refer to a commit in a way that tells you N commits after named known point.
If you do have a commit, you can walk to its parents easily (but not its children)
SOME_HASH_OR_NAME~1
the number gives how many parents up.

In that case I'm abandoning trunk. Git is indisputably an adequate tool for collaborative work, it's not suitable for software distribution.

see https://github.com/graemeg/lazarus
I have been getting Lazarus Trunk from github for the last year, very easy to step back one or many 'revisions', you work with the github web page open, you can see all the IDs, scroll down and see the diffs. I imagine gitlb will be able to do the same.
You'll love it !
