Weird.  Something is wrong with someone's browser, then (either yours or mine),
or with the website.  When I go to https://www.acpica.org/downloads, there is
no 20160629 listed.  The most recent version is shown as 20160729.

There is also no tag in the git tree for R06_29_16 -- there is a tag for the
R07_29_16 release, though.  The odd thing is the 1e997ab9a commit says it is
the "Version 20160629", and the commit immediately prior to that is 08869b98,
saying "Version 20160729".  I don't really care which one it is supposed to be,
but it's not clear to me which one is correct.
