Now the misunderstanding is that he thinks this is in any way affected by Andreas' proposal. Let's state one thing very clearly: It Is Not! Remembering the common ancestor doesn't affect how the builders check out packages or anything. Everything that works now works exactly the same as before. The source links would contain an addition field that contains the target rev when the link was created (or the diff).
This is only about "keeplink" mode, i.e. when the buildservice adds a new patch?
I don't know what "keeplink" mode is and the search on en.opensuse.org doesn't find anything, so I can't say. I find it odd to describe the buildservice as adding new patches when in reality it's people who do that, so I'm confused by your question. If the "keeplink" mode has anything to do with remembering the ancestor revision the link was created against in the link itself I find it also odd to call it "mode" as if this somehow could be switched off and on at will. As I already wrote this functionality must be non-optional.
