Thanks Jon - Doh! 🤦 FACE PALM! - I've never created a "branch" on that repo and 
*ass*ininely *ass*umed I've been using main/master despite the evidence shown by 
`git status` and cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi! ;^>

Release 2 merged to main/master with missing man pages linked, b-r packages 
added, built, and deployed!
