Hmm. Maybe we should simply replace the static snapshot that is being served on the website with a script that is running against TerraSync's subversion repository? I can see a point of snapshots for distribution on read only media, especially if they have a script that can reconstruct the svn metadata and thus become a baseline for TerraSync, but I don't see why we're doing so for an interactive download tool.
