Good job Piotr, sorry I've been silent lately.  I've got some
Java work to do now, so I'll grab the new plugin and exercise it,
and verify what I can of the bugs.

The new and noteworthy page is great.

For version numbering, I'd rather have a different solution than
odd & even which always feels hacky to me.  What does Eclipse do
if you substitute a different character for that final '.',
e.g. 1.3.0+12345, or 1.3.0-12345

Finally, for lightweight checkout.  I think it's crucial that we
provide something easy and usable which doesn't require copying
the repository.  We should either support lightweight checkout
for local branches only (file:// scheme) or we need an integrated
way to create and use shared repositories.
