        I agree with Peter.  Branches need to be focused and minimalist. 
That's the whole point.  I absolutely do not want to see 
RVM-91-NewThreadModel become "everything Ian feels like working on in the 
next month."  That's not how we have agreed to do work on this project. If 
you want to work on things that don't fit under the scope of RVM-91, then 
you need to have multiple checkouts and do each piece of work in the 
appropriate branch/head tree.  It's not that much more work for you and 
makes things significantly simpler when it times to evaluate whether/how 
the changes from the branch get merged back into the trunk.
        This has been beaten to death in the past. Do we really have to go 
through all of that again to reach exactly the same conclusion?
