Some of the rev-numbers that appear in the ChangeLog on the lexbind
branch are not correct (because they refer to revnos on the `trunk').
In most cases I can figure out from circumstantial evidence what was the
intended meaning, but using revnos is just not a good idea.
Noone will be hung or lynched for it, but I encourage people to use
other ways to refer to changes, e.g. rev-ids or dates.
