"Predecessor". Not "parent". "Parent" is usually used to refer to branching structure.

If your second part, above, were abstracted out such that the new revision-1 tag could be used anywhere CVS accepts two revision options (basically, diff & update/commit -j), then this format could also be used to concisely back out a commit or to merge a specific commit to a new location.
It's possible that something like `.previous' would be a good special tag for this case since it doesn't intrude on the existing tag namespace, a la Steve Cameron's .trunk/.parent/.base patch that needs to be ported forward and committed someday.
Basically, yes, I would very much like to see this patch.
