Actually, no. 0.2.0 is exactly the release version of compiz 0.2.
Newer versions would be 0.2.1 or similar.

Choosing git versions in-between is actually against the spirit of
version 0.2 being a stable version. So I doubt this is a good idea. I
probably will include the necessary patches only in compiz-git.

Release versions are always a PITA :-/

David, care for a rev++? Even 0.2.1 would be ok...
