The primary place you'd see either is in 'log'.  To show the UUID,
you'd add a "--show-ids" arg to it (and via per-user config aliasing,
you could just alias 'log' to 'log --show-ids' if you always wanted to
see them, so you wouldn't have to type it.  The output looks something
like:

revno: 1
revision-id: fullermd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
committer: Matthew Fuller <fullermd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
branch nick: a
timestamp: Thu 2006-10-19 10:14:37 -0500
message:
  Foo

(without --show-ids, it's the same, except not showing the
revision-id: line)

With the form of bzr UUID's, that's not particularly useful, since
you're probably into the minutes/seconds of the timestamp before it
becomes unique, at which points you're close to 2/3 of the way through
the whole string.
