In this case, I might actually do both: cut a tag representing the 0.5 release, create a branch for legacy 0.5.x development, and start working on the 0.6 line in trunk.

This approach makes a lot of sense to me and it seems to cover all of our bases. As long as svn storage space isn't a concern I think this is a good plan. On the other hand, If we are considering hard- drive space as an issue, I should note that that if we tag and branch 0.5, there is a good chance that in 2 months we will see another 0.5.x tag cut from the 0.5.x branch.

Don't sweat the issue of disk space. Our SVN server is equipped to deal with these sorts of things. As Carl Forde rightly pointed out, the semantics of tagging and branching are meaningful, and it's worth taking advantage of them.

If there are no other thoughts or red flags that anyone sees, tomorrow (after some final commits are done) I'm going to recommend that we take the tag & branch approach with vulab 0.5, and do a svn import of the latest stable CakePHP code into the trunk.

+1. I'll give you a hand with the tagging and branching process.
