Googling around a bit for this issue - because other apps must have this same problem and their users - shows people either creating a ton of tags, or scripting with the rev-list count to generate sequential numbers in their commits to master.

How did SVN deal with a rev number in older branches, when you either backported a change from a newer release or committed a change only to the older release?  Did it use the same rev number, or give it a new one? (ie, was it the same/shared numberspace?)
