See that in today's reports thanks to the update of libxml2: 2.14.4 ->
2.14.4_1.

Which brings up an interesting poudriere dilemma.  How to detect git
commits that are made out of order i.e, that create dependencies on
package version that have not been committed (or built)?  Solution
to-date has been to ignore all updates and wait for the next day's
build.  This is, of course, a suboptimal solution as security fixes
could be delayed.

Ideally these commits would simply be be held as pull requests but is
that always detectable or feasible?  How do the Linux distributions do
it so well?
