I'm with Bob, I also have one clone for 3.x and one for 4.x so it doesn't
matter to me whether it's all one repo or not.
I agree with Neil, I don't really care about moving to Github. Most of the
work for moving is on Rob and Bob, and it sounds like they have something to
gain by moving.

We've mostly avoided branching during development. And since we've
mostly avoided servicing RTM releases, we avoid those branches too.
I'm +0 on per-major repos. I already use per-release local clones --
the SVN/Perforce model. (I hate checking out branches; it's fairly
fast but disk space is cheaper than my attention span.)

don’t think main is obsolete, but one should be conscious
about branches. I prefer a main parent with a dev branch
that periodically gets merged over to main for cutting an RC
to QA. For larger products, I have feature branches that
are children of dev and this can be very useful when
features overlap and/or developers are not co-located, etc.
But,
it can be taken too far. One project I worked on had 39
branches (four of which were various states of main), and
required a complex set of Perl scripts to keep them all
merged up (some of the branches were special views for
overseas consumption only).
Your
mileage may very. The main thing is to have a strategy to
control change and manage history.

importantly, I think separate repos would follow the
typical dev work flow better where master is the latest
version and other branches support the master or the next
version.
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seem to agree, but maybe since it's about SVN it's outdated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?
