Just to be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with 12812 and 
12813 as a change.  But, the right way to do this kind of change is to 
commit to the trunk and then merge the trunk to the branch.  It takes a 
little initial setup to have both repositories and a few minutes of extra 
work, but (1) it keeps the branch more focused and (2) by doing 
incremental merges from trunk to branch you make it easier to manage the 
final merge back.  I spend a lot of time doing multi-stream development 
and I understand it can be a little cumbersome, but dealing with this 
incrementally is really much better than letting changesets accumulate.
