 To detect if a revision is the current one we do
 `$revision->post_modified_gmt === $post->post_modified_gmt`, see
 [source:/trunk/wp-admin/includes/revision.php:24708#L102].

 This can be an issue if you are using the API and creating revisions
 programmatically which can result in same timestamps, since we doesn't
 save milliseconds, only seconds.

 We noticed this while the GSoC project "Code revisions", see
 [https://gsoc.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/326 #gsoc326] and on
 [http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/07/16/code-revisions-week-4/
 make/core].

 Not sure if we can do something here, but want to make it known.
