Well, my initial thought was if a releasable version is going to be
made a snapshot of trunk is done to tags/<software>-<revstamp> and
the external reference to GAR is changed to point to the fixed
version at the time of snapshot. The package build would then
include the SVN URL to the snapshot allowing specific tracking of
the GAR rev by looking at that external reference.

However, I always postponed that step as it makes most sense with
an automated build and would also benefit largely from the changed
release model we discussed during the camp as built packages would
automatically go into an experimental repository and submitpkg
would migrate from there to unstable.

Funny to see how all things are connected...
