I think all people involved in 2.9 should get their contributions right on 
the trunk. Then we can branch. Fixing stuff on multiple branches is a pain.
You could create a temporary branch for your stuff and merge it back into 
the HEAD when the 2.9 branch. I think Jim came up with idea to develop new 
features on a branch. Branches aka new features should be merged into the 
HEAD if they are considered to be stable. The reason for this approach but 
be to have the HEAD in a reasonable stable state and to be able to cut a 
release branch at any time.
