It was mentioned soon after all this was suggested in the first place, by i don't know who, to do it like this: %n.info and %n-%v-%r.patch. basically only renaming the info file, not the patches. this is an obviously simple solution and will work just as well as previously and won't have any of the disadvantages that are being discussed now.

That approach works nicely for me. What do others think?

You lose the key advantage of being able to make mass changes (scripted) that require a revision update, because
once the file revision and patch are out of sync fink can no longer find the patchfile. Honestly I do not see the problem of using the $Id $ tags in files and using -D with cvs commands to get a specific snapshot. This is meant to make things easier, not harder on us.
