       Body:
Ok, well how does one work in that scenario?  Say there is development on a new feature on some branch.  Assume there are two groups. Group 1 wants to depend on the latest head snapshot and group 2 wants to depend on the latest new feature branch snapshot. (Perhaps group 2 is collaborating on the new feature which spans multiple projects.)  How can this be done currently?  It seems one of them would have to depend on a versioned release, and constantly check for updates and increment their dependency version.  Would be nice if group 1 had a dependecy that looked like:

     <dependency>
      <groupId>someutils</groupId>
      <artifactId>someutils</artifactId>
      <version>HEAD-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>

and group 2's dependecy looked like:

     <dependency>
      <groupId>someutils</groupId>
      <artifactId>someutils</artifactId>
      <version>1.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>

Is this possible?

Description:
Currently, a SNAPSHOT and a timestamp jar relate to CVS HEAD of a particular project.  For projects which have multiple development branches, this causes a problem.

I would propose that the version number of the project be added to the filename of the snapshot and the timestamp jar.  It should be documented in the manual that the version should always be the unreleased version.  

Perhaps the version number is not the right identifier to add.  I would just like to see something that would allow one snapshot per development branch.
