Description

Current implementation of Revision fromString and toString make use of std JDK API to perform string manipulation. While running some performance test it was seen that these 2 methods are called quite frequently and that adds up to some decent times. Further they also generate quite a bit of short lived objects.

It would be worthwhile to perform a micro benchmark of these method and optimize them further such that they perform better and also generate less garbage. The micro optimized code would be bit more complex but if performance numbers are better we can look into changing the current implementation
