HaikuDepot creates a previous state folder for each operation.
This can results in a lot of previous states. (Right after Haiku install
when you're adding software, for example)\\
Now imagine an user who few weeks later reports a bug and, to narrow the
problem, they are asked to check with a hrev prior to xxx.
Once in bootloader menu, user faces a long list of previous states with
only dates and hours as indication. By chance, they may tried few and hit
the right one before giving up.
I think that in order to help them to make their choice, it could be nice
to distinguish states containing a different Haiku revision by indicating
this one between brackets, in boot loader list.
This would also better match the doc that says : "Under Select boot volume
you can specify what former "version" of Haiku to boot."
