Don't the examples in the manual provide some guidance about how to use
the feature? I meant to make it clear that you can ask the server for a
snapshot of a release tag.
Currently we don't have the capacity to keep substitutes spanning
multiple release tags.
I don't have the knowledge to evaluate the possibility of ranking
commits by substitute coverage.
