Obviously, it will not work if the package is not a VCS, so it does not apply
to all RFS. But we can encourage it by showing examples, for instance in the
RFS template. From URLs like the one below, people can easily figure out the
correct one for their package:

Diff between revisions 5120 and 5399 of the imagej package:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/?op=comp&compare[]=%2Ftrunk%2Fpackages%2Fimagej%2Ftrunk@5120&compare[]=%2Ftrunk%2Fpackages%2Fimagej%2Ftrunk@5399        

Diff between the tags debian/0.1.8-1 and debian/0.1.9-1 of the samtools package:

http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-med/samtools.git;a=commitdiff;h=debian/0.1.9-1;hp=debian/0.1.8-1

Have a nice day,
