I'm only an observer, but I haven't seen any toes. :) The last Win32
binaries posted are 0.27.0. I wanted to upgrade to 0.28.0 because it
fixed a major Win32 bug that prevented (without modifying a config file)
checkouts from *any* SSL-based repository. But there are no 0.28.0 Win32
binaries. I'd like to convert my repositories over to the new version,
but there are no Win32 binaries for 0.28.0 or 0.29.0.

I'm not faulting Branko or anyone---everyone gets busy, and this is free
software, after all. I should even figure out how to compile this myself
so that I won't have to rely on others.

But at this point, I'd gladly take an unofficial Win32 binary,
especially if someone claims it passes the required tests. Otherwise,
I'm sitting several versions behind, and if I remember correctly, the
new change policy only guarantees compatibility between two versions.

Just my thoughts, and thanks Dmitriy,

Garret
