Yes, they allow for nightly builds. The version number will come from
`git describe` and increment for eternity with every revision. Since
the version is always greater with each revision, the package manager
will consider them to be updates.
It's often trivial to create a nightly package too. For example, Arch
Linux has direct support for building packages with Bazaar, Mercurial,
Git and Subversion sources including support for branches and tags.
It's as simple as doing `source=('git://github.com/mozilla/rust.git')`
and giving a tag/branch after a hash if desired.
