RE: svn tarball download link

Since the releases are made from the tags, and not a branch or the trunk,
the revision number is not very useful anyways... I believe the consensus
is, that revision numbers are kind of meaningless for designating releases.
Perhaps the revision number could be moved somewhere to the back of the
filename for future releases? Or just omitted?

With regards,

More like the current link without the revision number before
subversion-0.29.0.tar.gz. The version number is fine.Actually the
revision number is the only thing that seems hard to figure out when you
know what release you want to download.
