22 Ok, here's the best help I can give you: Your proposal can't work. You
23 can't get correct ordering reusing existing components. You can't get
24 sane behaviour using your template scheme without making it aware of
25 scm revisions. You can't make it scm revision aware without a hell
26 of a lot of work. And if you do want to make it scm revision aware, you
27 need changes to the version scheme anyway.
