Kevan: I could hang with the sandbox approach. Among other things, not being a true branch means I could do nonstandard things like use svn:externals for any module that doesn't have changes in the sandbox. Unless there are objections (and I couldn't imagine what they might be), I'll plan on going this route. Thanks! -Matt > --kevan
