[jboss-dev] Keep your repoID when using snapshots...

[Clebert Suconic]

Well... the snapshots are a problem for sure.

For example, one of these days I wanted to come back 1 week on 
JBoss-head SVN, as I needed to validate when a bug was introduced.


I couldn't just svn update -r<the revision on that date> because the 
snapshots would break everything.

If we had the repo id on those snapshots, the problem would be at least 
minimized.. it would give me an option to recoup that week.
