Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:2 gk]:
 > Why is the change in fetch-inputs.sh necessary? I mean what does speak
 against just bumping `MINGW_VER` to 6638 (which v3.1.0 is pointing to
 IIRC)? I don't see the benefit of having the additional complexity as tags
 in subversion can't be signed anyway (AFAICT).

 My SVN knowledge is very limited.  It just seemed better to use a symbolic
 tag, but we can stick with SVN revisions if you prefer.  But – and maybe I
 am misunderstanding svn revisions – isn't v3.1.0 revision 6434?  Actually,
 digging a little deeper it looks like the MinGW-w64 project recently
 switched to git.  The git has for v3.1.0 seems to be
 9418eaa1854320b57f40e29ec5bbc4f5717ecd58.  Should we pull via git?
