Perhaps a revision number could be inserted (if desired)
when a revision is checked in, thather than when it is exported?
That way the external version will be identical to the one in
the database?

Or maybe it could be inserted when the file is exported from
monotone to elsewhere, if desired.  And at the same time create
that revision -- with the externally known revision number -- into
the monotone data base, possibly marked as an exported version?
