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

[Clebert Suconic]

Maybe we should stop using snapshots...  and start using tagged snapshots:

For example:


jboss-metadata/snapshots/r<ID>


This way, you can aways recover the right version on a given point.



The problem on that is, we will soon have too many snapshots to deal 
with... but is that too bad? (I mean.. the size of the repository?)
