How does this work with tagging or releases?
Currently the phar thing isn't tagged at all when building PHP releases,
but I assume the svn:externals would be copied as is and might lead to
wrong assumptions (like that a newer version was included) meaning we
make the tagging more complex or avoiding confusion.
Additionally: With the current process I can be assured that the package
being used is a released" package, such a linkage might catch a random
dev version or bad version numbers or ....
