Yes and no. For the scenario cited (code review), I've found that
usually a code review is a planned event and not intended to be
performed on an arbitrary revision of code. In fact, in code review
scenarios I've been in, we've usually wanted to review the code that
went into a particular QA build, for example, for which a tag does
exist.

I have no problem with using an automatically assigned revision number.
What started this thread was someone wanting to override the
automatically assigned revision number. That's something that I (and the
CVSNT developers) have a problem with. If you want something other than
the automatically assigned revision number, use a tag.
