I caught that, but then I'd have to rsync in a VM (I'm NOT installing
cygwin stuff on the host machine where I'm working on Strawberry, and I
haven't found a non-cygwin win32 rsync yet) and then copy it out. I
could probably get it to work, however. I should try compiling rsync
using msys myself before I give up on that option, however.
And considering I'd only be smoking 2-3 times a week (once on blead,
once or twice on maint-5.10), I don't think that it'd hurt all that much
to download a tarball and extract it.
(I tried with a Git checkout around 5 August, and while it successfully
built, it didn't know what checkout it was at... Maybe that's been fixed
now.)
