I use this when dealing with vendor drops. I tag my vendor drops like so:

vendor/
   tool/
      6.0/
      6.1/
      6.2/
      current/

If I last copied 6.1 over to my project directory, and I want to upgrade,
it's easy to use the URLs to do this:

merge vendor/tool/6.1 vendor/tool/current

OR

merge vendor/tool/6.1 vendor/tool/6.2

Now I get all the changes that happened between 6.1 and 6.2 (which is the
same as current) without having to go looking up revision numbers in the
logs...
