Okay.  I thought it might be reasonable, but then, Windows users should be

Hmm.  That does not convince me.  If people see that Git-1.5.5-rc3.exe 
does not work, and go to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it would not be too big a 
problem for me.

So I'd like them to be named -rcX after the git.git release scheme.

Sounds reasonable to me!

Right.  Those seem to be the biggest problems for Windows users (me not 
being one, I cannot really tell).
