Comment (by knarf):

 What I could imagine is a moving 'stable' branch only for the manifest
 repository. That way, GetComponents calls would always pick up the current
 stable version, but within the thornlist the current version string would
 be used. Local repositories (even the manifest repository) would only use
 the ET_XXX branch names.

 Instead of
 {{{
 ./GetComponents --parallel
 https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/manifest/raw/ET_2016_05/einsteintoolkit.th
 }}}
 we would have
 {{{
 ./GetComponents --parallel
 https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/manifest/raw/stable/einsteintoolkit.th
 }}}

 without any change of that thornlist.
