I have not looked at STATUS today, but there are still a fair number
of changes in trunk that have not been proposed for backport. For
example, there is a whole chain of revisions around the changes to the
prompts during interactive conflict resolution. That led to bindings
changes etc.

I plan to post binaries from r29327 to the merge tracking/Beta site on
openCollabNet sometime tomorrow. There will be binaries for
Linux/Windows/OSX plus the latest rev of Subclipse and the merge GUI.
Hopefully that will draw out some testers. We will likely keep the
binaries updated as significant sets of changes are backported and we
inch closer to RC1.

If we were to release a Beta tarball, CollabNet would certainly
refresh and post binaries from it. I would also be fine with forging
ahead towards a real RC1 and letting the CollabNet binaries serve as a
beta of sorts. I feel like we are getting close to RC1. There are
obviously some loose ends, but it feels like everything has been
headed in the right direction of late.
