Yes, they would. :-(  But what if I just want to refer to a changeset 
independently of a repository?  Say, I have a development repository and a 
repository for bugfixes of the 1.0 version of my software.  Now I fix a bug 
in the 1.0 version.  I apply a patch to the 1.0 repository and apply this 
patch also to the development repository.  It's just this patch that fixed 
the bug, not this patch as part of some repository.  I would like to be able 
to have a tracker comment which just says: "Fixed by [<identifier of the 
patch>].".

This might be a solution.
