I see a real problem now with installation. I tried the nightly build r5578
today and it wanted to install to "...Program Files\TortoiseSVN 1.4.0.5578".
I don't like the idea to always install in another directory, because you can
put your own files there like diff-scripts or dictionary files. Always choosing
manually "Programm Files\TortoiseSVN" without the version number is annoying.
Please revert back to "Program Files\TortoiseSVN" and always install into the
same folder as before. I don't think seeing the version information directly
under the Software control panel is worth introducing folder changes on each
install.
