As Enrique is working on a part of the server which has not been changed
except from his own modification, I guess it won't be a big problem. Anyway,
it's better to be warned *before* than to try to fix big problems *after* :)

Hi, Alex,

Thanks for reviewing my commits.

This commit represents feature branch maintenance, straight out of the
SVN redbook:


http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.commonuses.html#svn.branchmerge.commonuses.patterns.feature

Not only is it good practice to keep a branch in sync with the trunk,
I had to do so in this case because the branch failed to compile due
to a change in a dependency.

As for conflicts, I performed similar branch maintenance and merge
back-to-trunk as recently as last week (on another project) and I'm
confident I won't have the major issues you describe.

Enrique
