These tools are not designed to convert tarballs into SVN repository
commits  ;-)

There will be some manual work involved.

OK.

  I do not need to tell you that...

    a) the QA could be helped with (no guarantee, though) by having
       a few more people use it

    b) and that no-one would ever announce the intermediate development
       versions gotten from, but not "released" by NoMachine as versions
       which are fit for end user consumption or testing.

But you are already scaring me with the "6-7 releases per day"  ;-)
I for sure would not be able to set aside voluntary time to merge each 
and every of these releases back into a SVN repository...  ;-)

So let's see how the work goes with the 1.5.0 snapshots (we *should* be
able to recover those from members of this list who have fetched +
"missed to delete" them.

We can re-consider the matter in a while, should we deem it important
or beneficial for either party.
