Are there any distros that distribute only todays master/tip/head/dev branch of everything?

That would be a lot of work because everything is very very very big. [Think of the number of people who would need to take care of each package...]

Automated scratch builds for new upstream releases would be helpful for that.

You can find so called "9999" ebuilds in Gentoo that download latest package code from its SVN/GIT/whatever repository, compile and install it, for example:
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/m...
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/media-video/ffmpeg

Some of "9999" ebuilds are found only in overlays, like x11 overlay:
