Comment (by olly):

 So what you actually want to know is "has the revision increased" or
 something like that?

 If so, I think we should consider alternative APIs that actually provide
 that, rather than just exposing this and then having you assume you know
 how the result is encoded.

 Adding an API which doesn't really support the one use we have in mind for
 it seems a bad idea.

 Where's the code you're using this in?
