But you can use MD5 to identify *all* the reverts, and then classify them with their comments.
Sure, and I think MD5 is a pretty efficient way of identify reverts. The point is that, once we start looking at comments, it's better to go ahead with them, since in theory we don't need to check against MD5 if we missed some revert.
However, we will have to compare MD5 and comments procedures. Comments are considered a fairly conservative approach, though a good proxy, and that's why we selected them.
