I suspect that the most useful thing the gatekeepers could publish
would be a list of per-build changesets in the main branch that
represent things that were pulled back to make a given build.

That way, if someone really needs to know that his project gate is
official snv_100 + plus project changes, he can pull with "-r" and
then merge in the gatekeeper-supplied respin list of changesets.

(Still seems weird to be using three digits for build numbers.  At
least we've got around 34 years and six months before we have to worry
about four digit build numbers ...)
