I find it useful too. I have lots of different revisions laying around
(-rxxxx). It's good for finding regressions. Some with different gcc
versions (-4.2.1 or -3.4.6). And some on stuff I started working on so
that I don't forget I'm supposed to finish them (like -siren,
-libavgrab... =)
I'll send an updated patch later.
