Don't be sorry at all. :-)

trunk is supposed to be "under active development" - I think that it is 
perfectly OK to commit first and then discuss for any non-controversial

To avoid confusion, it might be better to name the executable something that 
hints at it not being compiled from purely committed code.

Perhaps setup-2.490M.exe (M for modified), or setup-2.490+.exe.
