[sword-devel] Sword 1.6.2 NOW!

[Martin Gruner]

Hi Karl,

branching is not a pain for this kind of purpose. Just branch off the
repository state of 1.5.1 (I guess there is a tag available), apply the
one-liner, and release a 1.5.1.1. A bugfix release. That should have
been the answer to the problems at hand, not a patch.
