IIRC, that was Change Number, but I might be wrong.  Perforce, for
those that don't know, groups changes together and each group of
changes is given a sequential number.  Generally speaking, one can
speak of a branch as being at a certain Change Number.  I say
"Generally" because there are a number of loopholes...

: importing a whole new version of GCC, or a large number of ports, etc.

Good point.  Never mind.
