The most straightforward way is to change the dist-git tag twice, once
immediately after branching rawhide, and once immediately before the
mass rebuild.  Then the mass rebuild can just resubmit the previously
built commit hash because the build will produce a new NVR.

A more complicated approach would build off a branch or tag that points
to a NVR bump commit on top of the last successful rawhide build.  From
a maintainer perspective, the branched history does not matter because
there are no code changes.  Even that isn't *that* complicated.

Thanks,
Florian
