Well I got it somehow working.

What I did was that I added a new SourceBase in the file slave/commands
which takes the revision from the first change and calls a shell script
with it. Just copy the git example and modify it a little bit.

Sine the VC step is the only one who really needs the revision
information anyway, it is enough for me.

Next you have to disable the automatic merge of the different changes.
Since you want to build each change on its own.

This I think can be done in the file sourcestamp.py where I you can
change the 
if self.changes and other.changes 
  return True 


to return false.

Hope that helps, and hope someone can verify my assumptions.

thanks a lot, Fabian
