Naming revisions

[DarTar]

A nice feature that I've seen in other wikis and could be easily implemented in Wikka is the possibility of referring to revisions by number. This makes it easier to point someone to a specific version of a page (e.g. "Hey did you see my additions in r324?") than the current system (using human-unfriendly timestamps to identify versions). Revision numbers could then be displayed in {{recentchanges}}, /revisions, /show, {{lastedit}}, {{mychanges}} and any other action/handler involving reference to revisions.

We could also introduce some markup (e.g. r123 or [123]) that would be automatically parsed as a link to a revision. The Trac changeset/revision link format is a good candidate IMO, but could lead to some conflict if a Wikka instance is used to refer to a versioning system.
