Fair enough.

Would be nice. That or a mailing list with commit notifications.

I may setup something for myself to periodically pull from your repo
though, so no problems here.

That's good.

Well, I just don't like to run my code on the Git snapshots. It is
simpler  to run on some officially named version (even if it is named
"beta2.2" or whatever). At least from management point of view -- it
is easier to say to people "go install beta2.2" than "go install
a6e08e". :-)

I can live with the current situation though.
