Revisions in Subversion are identified by a monotonically increasing number. How can you distribute that?

Versions are a tree structure. The implementation may have required the next revision number to be n + 1, but the data structure does not necessarily have to do that. If myself and someone else push commits, they have to be rebased and renumbered anyway, right?
