Re: [PATCH cygport] Add a command to make a test release

Sometimes more complicated situations come up. We have one with lftp right now:

prev: 4.7.7-1
curr: 4.8.0-1
test: 4.7.8-1

This happened because 4.8.0-1 turns out to be broken, and later versions won't
build in Cygwin yet. So I had to promote 4.7.8-1 to test.

I didn't pay close attention to the lftp bug reports, so what I'm saying may be nonsense. But wouldn't it make more sense to just remove 4.8.0-1 if it's broken? You could still make 4.7.8-1 a test version, leaving a working 4.7.7-1 as current.

Doing it this way, you wouldn't need anything but the ability to mark a release as "test".
