I’ve made the same move with three separate repositories, and each time such a 
question has come up, I’ve chosen to simply not try to replicate the Subversion 
way of doing things, but instead to use what Fossil already provides.

Here’s one my solutions to problems of this sort:

Just copy the script to your local machine and run it within the repository.  
It’s free software and easy to adjust to taste.

What it’s going to give you is a short prefix of the Fossil checkin ID instead 
of a monotonically increasing revision number.  These won’t sort, and they 
don’t tell you how far two checkins are apart from each other by simple 
subtraction, but you *can* use them with commands like info and Fossil UI pages 
like /info to pull up details about the commit IDs you’re looking at.
