 > I don't quite understand this: you are ok with everything being in git,
 and you want to review changes in Vidalia-stable? and you are ok with
 Vidalia-alpha releases?

 Alright, let me try to rephrase again: I think having a branch for you and
 whoever else wants to work on big changes is a great idea. I think
 releasing big changes without review is a bad idea for now, even if you
 just call it an alpha. I think git is annoying, but if that's what y'all
 want to use then I won't whine about it (well, at least not too much ;).
 Clearer?

 Now, admittedly I don't have the bandwidth available at the moment to
 review changes with the frequency that you want for regular releases,
 which is why I seem to have this same conversation with various people
 every few weeks. So if you want to "damn the torpedos" and release
 anything and everything as an "alpha", I'm not going to whine about it.
 You'll get your feedback on whether things break that way, hopefully
 people don't mind if things do break, and what doesn't break can
 eventually make its way to "stable". At that point, there's not much point
 in me reviewing it again, since it's already been released in some "alpha"
 build. I was just trying to help avoid releasing broken stuff in the first
 place.
