Right, and the problem with single repo of WiX is that we have parallel "major 
versions" running at the same time. For example, I expect "3.10" and "4.1" to 
both being run at the same time. If there is only a single repo it isn't clear 
what should be in "master", v3.9 or v4.0?

Anyway, that's one of the things that is nice with separate repos. Reduced 
baggage is another.

On the various projects I've worked on, trunk/head/master has always been the 
latest in-development code, with branches for releases and bug fixes. People on 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/153812/subversion-is-trunk-really-the-best-place-for-the-main-development
 seem to agree, but maybe since it's about SVN it's outdated nowadays?
