When I'm developing a new port or want to override the default port in MacPort's svn with a local port of a newer upstream release, it would be nice to have a range of revision numbers that is smaller than any revision number from MacPort's svn repository. This would enable me to have a local port, say subversion 1.4.1-0, and then when the real subversion 1.4.1-1 comes out, I'll get an out of date warning. Also, is the revision an integer, a floating point value, or does it compare values like the version number, it 0.10 is greater than 0.9? Would people mind defaulting the revision to 1? I don't know how this would be rolled out. It would cause a massive upgrade.
