First, i would be extremely cautious about making strange assumptions
about other people's problems.
Second, i think the whole case will solve itself shortly, because after
the merge a devel branch will probably not be called devel_0_39 any
more. It may also be a move back to more compatibility to Miller's
branch, or not.
all the best,
Thomas

Yes, but that was conditional to having such improvements. I think
that I was somewhat mistaken when I first joined devel_0_39, I thought
that it was going to be somewhat more dynamic than that. Turns out that:
1. I had the delusion that there were more developers working on
devel_0_39, but I hadn't counted. Turned out that it wasn't true.
2. Tim is basically on the way out: keeps using pd for
backwards-compatibility reasons.
3. Thomas has a hidden branch because devel_0_39 is too dangerous
because I could be committing files in it.
4. At this point (these months...), the only other regular contributors
to devel_0_39 are Chun Lee and myself.
Now there is already the main and devel/desire_data branch and I
think such a marginal problem as you have (the beautification ...)
should not be the reason for one more branch ...
Well, you shouldn't confuse the actual with problem, with something
that is just a trigger (a catalyser) for change. Thomas's problem is
just an occasion for taking the time for a reality check about the
issue, and summarise all the issues that have accumulated during the
16 months of having devel_0_39 and desiredata two-in-one.
I don't see the branching as being a big change, nor as a surprise,
nor as being weird or out-of-place or bad manners.
That said, I don't want to switch to another repository as of now; I
don't see its advantages as being greater than its inconvenients.
