@sylvester: thanks! and 'development' seems like a good name :-)

@bruce: thanks for the trip back to memory lane; had not thought of svn in a 
while… Given the nature of the CSL repo, and the low granularity, and given 
that there are almost no dependencies between files, it works very well to have 
just one shared branch, but I agree it's good to keep in mind.

In fact, it reminds me of the discussion about CSL 1.0.1. With these tests put 
in place (and after giving it a bit of time to settle), maybe it would be nice 
to start thinking about that transition also in terms of branches. I know you 
had proposed to create a separate directory for the different version (how 
svn-like!!!), but a branch would likely work as well. Merging changes from 
development back into a 1.0.1 branch would allow to keep the 1.0.1 styles in 
sync, and eventually, the 'development' branch could be split to leave a 1.0.0 
branch behind, and switch its content to 1.0.1 styles. At that point, 'master' 
would pick up those 1.0.1 styles as well. The 1.0.0 branch could also be 
updated by merging back 'master' into it (but being careful to then strip the 
changes that are 1.0.1 specific).
