I don't think that it is likely that we will be able to make that many
commits to the ports system. I would just use the date as SNAPSUFFIX
and just record the master commit in the Changelog, or maybe in
pkg-message or both.
I really think that more than weekly updates is probably impractical for
the ports system. Maybe twice a week, but even with a rapidly changing
code base, more frequent updates won't really be useful.
