Comment (by olly):

 Also, the internal `revision_info()` throws an exception for backends
 which don't support it, while the patch assumes they return an empty
 string (and then itself returns an empty string if any do).  We should
 decide what's most useful in the public API, make sure the implementation
 matches, and document it.
