It'll have the same revision name. The revision no's will be
different, sure, but that's not a problem.

revnos are the only naming bit that is branch-specific.

I guess one way of looking at revnos is to regard them completely as a 
command-line ui thing.  They're not explicitly stored anywhere on
disk but just an easy way for users to refer to revisions on a
per-branch basis. 

The graphical frontends to bzr, for example, don't know about revno's but 
only about revids.
