Well, normally there's at least *some* repository that's remotely 
accessible, otherwise nobody would (or even could) be doing any cloning or 
pulling or pushing (and you'd be left with a single-user private SVN with 
better merging).

I agree that referring to a revision number that's only valid on your own 
local repo is of questionable benefit if it's not remotely accessible. 
However, I do think it makes sense to refer to a revision number on whatever 
remotely accessible repo inevitably does exist.
