1.5.1 up for signing/testing

Coming to you live from OSCON 2008, I'm pleased to announce that Subversion
1.5.1 is up for testing and signing. The magic revision is r32289:

http://test.hyrumwright.org/svn/1.5.1/

(Please make sure you verify the checksums. I think all the bits made it to the
download site, but just want to be sure.)

You know the drill: signatures from full committers back to me, and enthusiastic
tester feedback is welcome. At this point, this candidate is not yet blessed
for wide release, so please don't make it available to people not interested in
test-driving the new release. Even though the code has been tested and signed
previously, please test and sign this release to ensure code completeness and
that I didn't bork the packaging somehow.

Distro package maintainers, please do NOT include any pre-release builds, even
blessed, into operating system distros. The reasons for not doing so were very
eloquently outlined by Karl in a mail, which is summarized at the above address.

The quick version is: we don't guarantee compatibility between the pre-releases
and the final release, so if people install the release candidate, all their
repositories and working copies might break unrepairably when they upgrade to
1.5.1 proper. We don't want that kind of bad publicity, and neither do you.
