Yes, that's simpler.
Maybe the page
http://www.openldap.org/**software/repo.html<http://www.openldap.org/s...
contain a description like this or the table in section "Useful
Branches and Tags" on that page should contain links like the one posted by
Marco? This could lead to more people actually testing pre-releases in the
RE24 branch.

Actually this has been my biggest obstacle to give a contribute to the
project.
As an example, consider also that in my corp cvs/git protocols are not
available through the internet. Web is the only way...
