Please do it in the branch. Otherwise people who want to build 0.95beta from the sources will stumble upon this issue and may be confused. Morevover it will be very easy to merge the changes back to the Trunk thanks to svnmerge. While if we have to setup svnmerge also on the branch the two won’t play very well together. I can take care of the merges back to Trunk. Thanks! Speaking of that: while the branch is alive, please all commit to the branch the fixes that you want to appear in the 0.95 release. Commit in the trunk only the changes that mustn’t be in 0.95. This will ease the merging process.
