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/einsteintoolki... }}} we would have {{{ ./GetComponents --parallel https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/manifest/raw/stable/einsteintoolkit.th }}}
without any change of that thornlist.
