I don't see how merging would cause a problem. A merge is a new commit, so 
it would get the next new revision number just like any other new commit 
would.

And from what people have been saying, rebasing is only kosher on private 
repos so any little bit of awkwardness in there woudn't be a big deal (and 
I'm not sure how awkward it would be anyway since if if you're shuffling 
history around you'd *expect* the revision numbers to change since that's 
exactly what you're doing anyway).
