Revisions should be a monotonically increasing serial number (think SVN revisions) indicating the revision of the Portfile.
The purpose of the revision is to provide a unique primary key for every portfile: {name, version, revision}.

Right. And it would be good to have a space for development versions. With RPMs, the default revision people use is 1, so if I want to roll some beta RPMs out to people, I commonly use 0.01, 0.02, etc. It gives me a lot of space to get issues fixed, and then when I'm happy with it, I bump the revision to 1.
