(original) (raw)
A revision number is, indeed, local to the working repository. A changeset ID, however is global.
From Mercurial's documentation:
Revision numbers referring to changesets are very likely to be different in another copy of a repository. Do not use them to talk about changesets with other people. Use the changeset ID instead
