docs: revision numbers are technically stable

From `hg help glossary`: "Note that the revision number may be different in
each clone of a repository." But cloning the same repo multiple times yields
the same result, and that shows that revision numbers are stable.

  [figure SG01: rev 0:0dc9 public, rev 1:f649 draft, same on both repos]

(You may notice a change in notation from the user guide: now
changesets are labelled with their revision number and the first four
digits of the 40-digit hexadecimal changeset ID. Mercurial revision
numbers are never stable when working across repositories, especially
when obsolescence is involved. We'll see why shortly.)

Now let's switch to ``test-repo`` to test our change::

  $ cd ../test-repo
