I'll jump in with a different perspective to see if I can't help
out. Keep in mind that the revision numbers are for the whole repo,
*not just for an individual branch*.

Revision numbers could be like this:

1001 commit to trunk
1002 commit to 6.1.1
1003 commit to clfs
1004 commit to clfs
1005 commit to clfs
1006 commit to 6.1.1
1007 commit to clfs

Now, if you wanted to merge the changes made in revision 1006 to 1001,
note it is not sequential. I think you're missing this important
point.
