I like the idea of branching significant releases. (0.2, 0.3, dare I say 
1.0 )  It could also be called a stable branch.  If you need to fix a 
bug in a release, then commit the change to the release/stable branch, 
tag a new version number, ( 0.2.1, 0.2.2, etc)  then merge the changes 
onto HEAD.  This will help enforce the rule that only bugfixes go onto 
the stable branch, no features.

Is this overkill for such a small project, perhaps.  I think it's a good 
practice, thought.

On another note, I tried an FoF upgrade earlier today.  It seemed to 
work fine.  I had to change the feed and item table names in config.php 
to match the existing FoF table names.  Otherwise, FoFr doesn't see the 
existing tables and thinks it's a fresh install.  Is that what we expect 
users to do?
