[rabbitmq-discuss] Mercurial usage: "default", not "tip"

Thanks for the clarification.

The two URLs that we used to build our latest installation were from:

http://www.rabbitmq.com/server.html
http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html

Under the "Latest Snapshot" heading for the following links:

rabbitmq-server http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/archive/tip.zip
rabbitmq-codegen http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-codegen/archive/tip.zip
rabbitmq-stomp http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-stomp/archive/tip.zip

Are these archive links also branchless?
