Personally I'd rather see the split sometime after the release, to better focus efforts on stability. Is it that hard to just sit on all
Agreed; I'd prefer if the split was after the bugs found in the initial release were fixed. Backporting is tedious.
the code-wrecking fanciness for a while longer? (I have quite a lot of that myself, but not more than my five separate cvs trees can contain.)
And in order to plug git a bit here, let me add that I do my own development on roughly three different branches locally in git, all contained inside of one tree on disk (I can switch branches using git quite easily), and for current development I tend to create a new branch which I then commit to several times, and then at the end, I merge all changes at once into CVS (and destroy my local development branch for this feature/bugfix).
Speaking of git and backports, what's the current status of backport identification?
