The commit message and tag for the RC follow exactly what git-core does [4] (so if you don't like it, you can blame the Git guys - Ha!), and the tarball location follows what Firefox does [5].

Obviously, I also plan to automate uploads when we start pushing regular RCs and releases.

Great! Many thanks for this. I'll build a local Fedora package
from this and do all my usbredir development / testing using
that package today. Which means streaming USB 1 and USB 2 ISO data,
mass storage device usage, the works basically (all Linux only).
