This document should enlighten somewhat:

Here is the gist for OS/2.

99% of OS/2 fixes are bug fixes so they are valid for both 1.0 (the
branch) and 1.1 (the trunk)

We attempt to put them in both places.

If 1.0.1 is released and not all OS/2 fixes have made it into the 1.0.1
tree, I will put those fixes onto my private build before I create the
official 1.0.1.

So any fixes we make will be in both a released 1.0.1 (the branch) and
in 1.1 (the trunk)

If you want to have all the lastest OS/2 specific fixes now, you have to
use a trunk build which can sometimes be unstable, although not every
fix has been checked in yet.

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/

If you want to use a stable build with most OS/2 fixes, use a branch
build

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.0/

(note there are no OS/2 build in there right now, we are working to get
it resolved.)
The last Os/2 branch build is in:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.0.0/

As to why we are working on both branch and trunk, the answer is very
simple.

The trunk is the future of Mozilla, the branch is where current product
releases are going to come from.
