After geting thru that mailing list.
What is real purpose of forth digit ? Usualy it is usefull to have there
revision when two branches let say 1.6.x and 17.x are maintaing at same
time to have kind of time stamp to compare relative date between them. I
don't think this is our siruation so we may remove forth number ?
If we can I would sugest go to 1.7.7.0 (or 1.7.7.1) as next release, and
increment 4th digit until svn 1.7.8 and get 1.7.8.0 (or 1.7.8.0).

other note, maybe you remember this thread
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=757&dsMessageId=2447244

There was quite interesting point. TSVN 1.7.0 had a lot of new awaited
features against 1.6.x. But we waited for svn to release them.
In this situation it may be ribbon, maybe editing of both panels in near
future. Will we wait with releasing again for svn 1.8 or change versioning?
