Suppose that we store rpmbuild build logs in some SCM system (well, we do), to study e.g. new compiler warnings or something. And then, simply changing the release is going to introduce quite a few changes in the build log, and hence this will yield new diff hunks. Now guess what. When studying build logs, the last thing we need is those funky new diff hunks.
