Ok. But, chances are that builds from branches are for temporary
situations (emergency updates while bigger updates are in testing, etc.)
and the circumstance where the obvious tip is not the same as the last
build will be rare.
Yeah, but in the situation where I need to make a quick legal change, I
would really prefer to know for sure where to make that change, and not
have to worry about which of the numerous branches I should apply it to.
