It does print the originating revision, but only if it has a non-dotted
revno. Non-lefthand ancestors get "merge" instead.

Henri Wiechers proposed to print the revno of the merging revision in
such cases:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.bazaar-ng.general/19535/focus=19535

I suggested the dotted revno might be nicer, and gave some advice on
implementing both approaches, but Henri hasn't posted since Nov 22.
