There are currently 2 "branches". They are not precisely branches, but
really two different repositories. One is the 1.2 repository, and one is
zookeeper/2.0 repository.

Some time over this weekend actual branching will occur -- we will
branch off the "stable" version of squirrelmail which will become
1.2.6pre1. The "trunk" will therefore be open again and be named the
"1.3 unstable" branch.

Any new features should be introduced into the 1.3 branch and some may
be backported into the 1.2 if deemed worthy. :)
