In my opinion vimprobable1 and vimprobable2 are two different things and
not only different version of the same programm. I think vimprobable1
should be in a seperate branch with seperate version numbers. Users that
like the vimprobable1 can checkout this branch and can fetch bugfixes
for it and, maybe, some new fetaures.

Vimprobable2/master could be the other branch and have it's own
versionnumbering.

For the features, it could be useful to have fetature branches (could be
prefixed with feature/*), that exists until the feature is merged into
the master/vimprobable1. After merging we could remove the
featurebranches, to ceep the repository clean.

Like mentiones in a pervious post, I would prefer to put all features
into the master branch and allo them to be enabled/disabled via
precompiler options. For the features the complexity with the switchable
features should acceptable. I think, to have only a basic vimprobable2
and several feature branches could make it difficould for users to merge
the wished browser together. For every bugfix in featurebranch the user
have to merge the sources together. Sometimes merging is hard enought
for developers that  knew the code well, but for a user who want to
build the browser it would be harder.
