Revisions

From MediaWiki extension testing

A revision in SVN is created any time software is updated to a SVN repository. Revisions are created for all kinds of reasons; one of them is to save the work prior to some testing. Consequently you cannot expect any revision to be useful or stable.

For the installer to be able to install any revision is important because this allows us to test the software and find it to be useful. Obviously, the quality of the tests are as good as the quality of the test-cases.

Revisions can be tagged as being part of a particular release.
