That's unlikely, because the branch will track the mainline.  But you'll 
be able to make a "stable plugin branch" too, and apply patches that go 
into the mainline on your own "stable plugin branch" with few or no 
conflicts.

This would be easier with distributed VCS, but can be done with svn too.
