In hindsight, it might have been better to have used a branch...
My question about using a branch for this sort of work is how will it get
tested? Doing it in the trunk has a risk for destabilization, but at least
it gets thoroughly tested by lots of people. If you're making incremental
changes instead of installing a whole new pass, it can be very useful to
get the feedback that occurs from doing this on the trunk.
So I think a case like this is a close call as to where it can most
effectively be done.
