I agree, we need a manifest and the ability to build a particular set of
commits and tarball URLs.

--offline helps by removing all network access during the build. For instance,
building on a buildbot without network access, or avoiding build failures
because the git repository was temporarily unavailable, and we didn't even need
to update because we already have the refs needed.

In any case, the manifest and bundle-source improvements are for another bug
IMO, and it seems this feature is useful anyway.
