[Exist-development] New stable branch: 2.0.x

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@ex...>]

To all committers and users: to prepare for the final 2.0 release and
to continue with active development, we have created a new stable
branch in SVN, which will replace the 1.4.x branch:
stable/eXist-2.0.x.

Developers: starting with rev 15855, please decide which commits have
to be ported to 2.0.x and merge them yourselves. It is difficult for
us if we have to go through the commit list months later to find the
changes which have to be merged. As a general guideline, changes
should be ported to the stable branch if they: 1) fix a bug which
affects many users and the impact of the bug fix on other areas of
eXist is limited, 2) fix an issue or improve a feature in code you are
maintaining and which is sufficiently separate from eXist core, e.g.
in an extension, 3) documentation updates, web site fixes. If in
doubt, please send a message to the development list.
