Splitting is a way of trying to get it stable. Other methods I know of to contain everyone around here is to make the directory read only and tunnel all patches through one person that says no a lot. It has been the only way to divert people for the last 3 major releases.
well, the real problem here is that branching in cvs is hard, and merging even harder. time to improve the tools?
svn does not make merging much easier though. (but merge tracking in svn 1.5 should improves on that)
btw, if someone wants to use git to merge their work from the development branch into the stable branch, it's not necesary to have git on the server since you can do it locally and then just commit the result.
