koji and mergerepo_c

[Thomas]

Hi Folks,

Quick question, would you consider to use mergerepo_c with option
--all [1] in koji ?
I am happy to work on a patch if it would be accepted. Maybe, we can
keep default behavior and enable with an option on the tag.

My use case is to be able to ship different release built against fix
external repo package that may not be latest version
(Buildrequires:pkg = 1.0.0 while external repo has already 1.1.0)

[1]:
   --all
       Include all packages with the same name and arch if version or
release is different. If  used --method argument is ignored!

it goes against what we actually want to have done in the repos. So that would 
be a big no it is not okay. perhaps we could make it an optional tag specific 
config option
