Which is why I once suggested to the SVN developers to allow revision
IDs have a human-readable alias :).

Anyways, since both the 2.9.x and the 3.2.0 release used a meaning-free
revision ID of ZODB, I didn't bother and change this practice for
2.9.3/3.2.1 now. If you want to create a ZODB 3.6.1 release, please do
so, but it's a lot of work for me right now. I also didn't feel like
peeing in someone else's pool since the ZODB was sort of Tim's territory
in the past.
