No. My point was that you do not even have to have an id. The hash of the object is the id. This is obviously much better than the mess of CVS/SVN's file ids. There is an option, even, to switch off key expansion, so you can have erroneous ids. That just cannot happen with hashes. Of course, it does not give you any hint about when this file was current. But there is no way to tell in distributed development _anyway_. You have to look it up, when, and who, changed the file to the current state.
