A way to aviod problems like these is to keep the same revision number
part before dist tag when using the same source package, and only
increase the part of revision after the dist tag when doing change that
applies to a branch.

That way you'll do (example):

f8       |  f9
-----------------
-1.fc8   < -1.fc9 (Initial build of same package on branch and trunk)
-1.fc8.1 < -1.fc9 (Made a change on branch)
-1.fc8.1 < -2.fc9 (Imported new trunk)
-2.fc8   < -2.fc9 (Merged the trunk into branch)
-2.fc8.1 < -2.fc9 (And do another branch change)

Without breaking upgrade path at any point in time.
