Let's have our fingers crossed hoping this will be possible to
implement/keep over the long term then :)

Hum ok. But in your example you specified a 6.0.x build and the server
answered the user should download 6.1.5.

This is weird because if someone has installed the 6.0 branch when that
one was the *fresh one*, he won't be proposed to download 6.2.2.

I'm thus wondering:

  * how the system performs the match between branches and how he keeps
    track of the branches (see issue described just above ^)
  * and (more interesting for my use case), how to have a build string
    that will always work. i.e. a build string that will answer with the
    latest version of the still branch and a build string that will
    answer with the latest version of the fresh branch. Because at
    chocolatey, the update script won't change (as the build id I'll fake).
