The problem this change fixes -- making sure that we can address a package
down to a particular source changeset -- is addressed even in the case of
branching.

What branching complicates is upgrading, since we're trying to map a
non-linear graph onto a single integer.

However, I expect that the vast majority of branching in the gate is going
to be for updates, at which point the UPDATENUM should be bumped, and all
is well again.
