Well, as the primary windows packager, I rarely know what version of
bzr-svn to use. And I'm subscribed to the whole bzr wiki.

And given that we *do* need to package a new bzr-svn if there is a
"minor API change that we have to cope with", it would be good to know
about.

One possibility is if you just want to track the
'bzr-windows-installers' project, and when you release a new bzr-svn,
just update the appropriate field in 'tools/win32/buildout.cfg'

I don't want it to be a burden to you, but as it stands, you also don't
update the Launchpad bzr-svn page, so I can't even just go there and see
what the latest version is. Is there a better page that you do keep up
to date? Perhaps something on the debian pages?

(You've also had some issues creating tags in trunk, so 'bzr up; bzr
tags' doesn't seem reliable either.)
