That sounds to me like /exactly/ what branches are for. AFAIUI the
branching policy is very liberal and there should be no problem with creating
a branch. Ah, here it is:
http://gcc.gnu.org/svnwrite.html#policies says
"Free for all
The following changes can be made by everyone with SVN write access:
[ ... SNIP! ... ]
Creating and using a branch for development, including outside the parts of
the compiler one maintains, provided that changes on the branch have copyright
assignments on file. Merging such developments back to the mainline still
needs approval in the usual way. "
