The decision to force the user to chose what revision to use was mine, and
I've taken a lot of flack for it.  I still think there is real value in
directly specifying where the code comes from (for reproducability) purposes,
but if everybody complains at the same time, I can change my mind
(and reserve the right to say "I told you so" later).
