global... Example:

initial commit: a.c, b.c, c.c (r1)
modify: b.c, c.c (r2)
modify: a.c, b.c (r3)
modify: c.c (r4)

now, the latest revisions, and histories, are:
a.c (r3, r1)
b.c (r3, r2, r1)
c.c (r4, r2, r1)


So you CAN say "file a.c revision r3"...
This is all AFAIK, I haven't actually researched any of this.
