Hello,

Here is a discussion started with one [math] user. As a result, James proposed 
to switch development back from branch MATH_2_0 to trunk (and to switch trunk 
to a new 1.x branch). I agree with this suggestion but cannot be sure about how 
many users will be affected. Just to be sure, we should probably do a move 
rather than a copy as I suggested in my last message (and btw, James, it is 
what you really suggested in the first place, isn't it ?).

So does anybody have an opinion on this ?

Makes sense to me. I can understand how the current setup is confusing and an unnecessary barier for new contributors. I am about to commit a batch of changes for MATH-212, so I would prefer to wait until I have this stuff in (next day or two), but will do the move (assuming all are OK with that approach) next week if there are no objections.

You are right. When development for 2.0 started, we were not sure
that if this would be the next version or if a 1.3 could be released
before. So we decided to use a branch for 2.0 and the trunk for 1.x.
Now it seems there will not be a 1.3 release and the next version will
be 2.0, so it would be more straightforward to have 2.0 be the trunk,
I agree. I don't think we will switch branch/trunk at this
intermediate state. We will more probably finish work on 2.0 and put
it back to trunk at release time.
Why the reluctance to switch? With SVN, it's extremely easy to move
stuff around.  If "current" development is going on within the 2.0
branch, then it should probably be the trunk.  Just move trunk to a
release-1-maintenance branch or something and move the 2.0 branch to
trunk.

Yes, I know, its only two "svn copy" commands. The rationale for me was mainly 
that it was decided some months ago to work on this branch and this is now known by 
several users. This was one of the reasons why when I fixed an issue in Jira, I always 
added the version numer and the branch of the correction, i.e. MATH_2_0.

As both of you voiced against this situation and your proposal is sound, I'll 
propose the switch on the dev list.
