but forking isn't a very nice solution.

and keep a log of any indent warnings.



possible idea for automatic/internal/seamless "make mix" solution:
use svn:externals
 http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externals.html

externals props can be slowly dropped from trunk/ as things diverge and are 
replaced. I am thinking here more of new module features added to devbr6 rather 
than library improvements, even though there will come a time when e.g. raster 
modules will all have to be ported to the new API. But when that happens it 
doesn't mean the vector modules all need to be dropped too.

the ultimate goal here being to minimize developer overhead without hindering 
new development.
