Which doesn't help you if somebody else is concurrently working on the same package and checks in things while you're waiting for your scratch build. We could use "scratch-tags", but I find this a bit silly. IMO, this is rather a point where using an SCM with a repo-wide revision-id (instead of a per file one as used by CVS) would help. Who again was looking for use-cases for different SCMs ;-)?
