Indeed. The way I use it myself is with SVN (because I never passed the
required time to lean git well enough). 

I have one repository for the project (or it could be just a URL
pointing to the tar.gz file) on one side, and another SVN repository for
hosting all the conf files needed by pb
(http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/projects in my case).

So do I ;-) Will also support soon mock/pbuilder for others who want
more a chroot type of approach.

Bruno.
