For Icadyptes I store all of my buildscripts in Git and make comments
and log revisions from there. I think that it would be a much easier
and more thorough solution, although it does have some weaknesses on
edge cases, possibly. <http://gitweb.icadyptes.org>

Just wanted to suggest that. I know it's not integrated, but I think
it's a better long-term solution, personally.

Thanks,
Teran
