In the current situation you lock down SRCREV and change PV,PR 
accordingly. In the new world you lock down SRCREV, increase localcount 
(per recipe or globally) and change PV,PR accordingly.

I just went from a 2 step error prone situation to a 3 step error prone 
situation. And I need to track an *extra* variable as well now.
