Sure.PBR when working off of a branch uses the git hash of the commit for the version of the package. So you will get a version name like openstack-nova-2014.1.2-{githash}, which is used by other tools to set the name of the package (such as anvil). So when you build a new package and the githash changes the hash maybe lower than the previous hash. This means that the newly built package will have a version number lower than the previous package. Any package management tool will ignore the new package because it is an earlier version of the package compared to whats already installed. Thus you get upgrade hell. Now, PBR supports tags - but it only supports annotated tags. So if you happen to create your tag via: git tag and you forget the "-a", once again you have upgrade hell because its going to default using the githash. The behavior that I would change is to allow you to override the the setting of the version to the git hash. How? I don¹t really care - I could even work with a text file for the override.
AFAIK, you should be able to use the PBR_VERSION environment variable to set your own version:
