So the "runner" is e.g. "IBM_Canada_Ltd", right?  Do you want the 
revision between that and the date?  In that case, it looks like you 
want to add a new block at line 464 of common.xsl.  Based on the 
immediately-preceding block which generates the runner name, you want 
something like this:

         <tr>
             <td colspan="{$colspan}">&#160;</td>
             <xsl:for-each select="$run_toolsets//runs/run[ 
count(toolset) > 0 ]">
                 <td colspan="{count(toolset)}" class="revision">
                     <xsl:text>rev </xsl:text>
                     <xsl:value-of select="@revision"/>
                 </td>
             </xsl:for-each>
             <td colspan="{$colspan}">&#160;</td>
         </tr>

I've set the CSS class to "revison", so you'll want to adjust that too 
in your html/master.css file; e.g. if you want the revision formatted 
like the timestamp, around line 265 change "td.timestamp" to 
"td.timestamp, td.revision".

> Since the "revision" property is new, it won't be present in results files for awhile

I think that @revision evaluates to an empty string if it is not 
defined.  If you want to make it look tidier you could add <xsl:if 
test="@revision">...</xsl:if> around the inner-most two lines, to skip 
the "rev " bit.
