I think that users ( or maybe just people who look after users ) will find it confusing
if the release is labelled 1.7.x. I for one look after a group that uses both the
command line version on Linux and Tortoise on the same working copy and I have
relied on the versions working with the same working copy if the first two numbers
are the same.
Couldn't you just release 1.6.8 linked against svn 1.6.8 with the TSVN
enhancements? Or call it 1.6.100 if you want to make it a bit more experimental and
allow for the 1.6.8 to follow the subversion release.
