Maybe we can also have some variables to control that we actually want the 'HEAD' revision without checking any checksum. However, I think it would be nice if we can do a checksum'ed checkout for specific SCM revision, especially if we want to have ports to work not only for *-devel ports where we would prefer signed source code.
