Remind me again why plain old svn branching is seen as not a good
solution for these issues?  E.g. not breaking builds with incremental
changes, and code reviews before we "commit" to a new design, etc.  For
the record I was planning on using branches in the near future for some
of the stuff I'll be working on.
