In almost all other systems, there a unique identifier, usually 40 characters or less, that can uniquely identify each and every revision, globally. In darcs, you either have to have a long patchset file, or you have to tag (how CVS!) to identify a version.
Do you mean a unique identifier for each patch? In darcs you can use the hash for a patch
darcs annotate --summary --match \ 'hash 20040403105958-53a90-c719567e92c3b0ab9eddd5290b705712b8b918ef'
Use the --xml-output option to find the hash. It 61 characters though.
