Thanks for your clear explanation.  I don't stick with any
revision but I think it is better if there is revision number
(or something similar) with which we can identify source trees 
of Tw uniquely.

I'm afraid it could happen that RedHat provides Tw package 
with rev.931 and Debian provides Tw package with rev.930 but, 
in really, they are built from the same source trees.

As a package maintainer, I think this is not desirable
but not a big problem.
