I fully agree. things should be improved incrementally. You are totally
right, the suggested change is a big improvement. I was just afraid it
would be taken as an end-goal, not something that needs further refinement.

And, some comment on Doug's point about process vs. tools: I thing I find
rather disturbing is that, apparently, in quite a number of times checkins
mix different (and unrelated !) features, making it impossible to track
regressions back to changesets. (I remember one particular case where
it was impossible to roll back, due to this.)
So, along with setting up branches, we need a clear checkin policy.

Using subversion in combination with trac will certainly help enforcing
this.

Thanks,
