Yes.
Even the bzr people have now stated rather firmly that the revno scheme doesn't work very well in a number of situations. Numerous examples have been given where the revno will be useless, or worse misleading when bzr is used without a central server. The answer from the bzr folks has been then don't use the revno in those situations. However, it's quite clear from the bzr UI that there is a _bias_ towards using revno's. So yes, clearly you can use bzr without a central server; but it's just as clearly biased against such usage.
So... I do agree that revnos might not fit perfectly in at all times. But that they automatically mean that bzr is not a decentralized VCS, I strongly disagree with. They are just one part of the equation. /Erik -- google talk/jabber. zindar@xxxxxxxxx SIP-phones: sip:erik_bagfors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sip:17476714687@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
