I'd like to keep it open. The only time I think we should kill this
branch is when we have:

* HTTP 1.0/1.1 Client
  - cookie support
  - (1.1) persistent connection support
  - (1.1) request pipelining
  - client that supports asynchronous completion handlers
* HTTP Server
  - 1.0 support
  - 1.1 support for persistent connections
  - 1.1 support for pipelining

It's good to keep developing on a branch that we keep re-merging into
the trunk. :)

Yep. :D

Do you know if Subversion already supports 1.5 merge tracking support?
