Yes they are, as long as the process is clear and they know what they
have to do. What I am trying to get to is an accurate text to put in the
readme that accompanies the nightly. Before the recent change it was
very clear but also very slow due to reboots. Now it is (normally)
faster, but less clear. See if this summary is correct now:
Uninstall/repair will not come up any more because product ID changes on
every build, so the only way to uninstall now is via control panel.
There is normally no need to uninstall before installing a nightly
build.
Install new msi.
Log off & Log on.
Check TortoiseSVN.dll version.
If version is same as nightly, then all is OK, no need to reboot.
If version is wrong, do I:
a) just reboot?
b) uninstall, reinstall, reboot?
One other question. I say in the readme that TSVN nightly is always
built against released or RC subversion libs. SVN 1.2 will introduce
locking which might mean a major addition to the UI, and I guess you are
likely to start looking at this before 1.2.0RC1. Should I remove that
statement?
