I already committed it with the revision bump before reading these  
messages.

There are valid reasons for increasing the revision even if the files  
installed do not change, for example if the dependencies change, or  
if the default variants change. The latter is why I didn't remove the  
revision increase, though in this case I don't particularly care one  
way or the other.
