Hi Eric, thanks for your response on that issue.

I feel the pain you're running into above. It's hard to keep things  
simple. I don't understand it as you do, but I still wonder if  
maintaining a parallel release branch is bringing you any real benefit ?

An alternative might be to treat the stable trunk as your release  
branch, with a code chill/freeze period right before release as some  
well-known projects do. I know this means more (temporary) divergence  
from unstable sometimes, but so be it - if they can't diverge they  
don't have much purpose.

My 2c.
