It’s mostly the other way around.

In theory, “stable-1.5” is the “release version” considered stable by IgH, and 
“default” is that plus some additional changes which will eventually become 1.6.

The patchset is based on “default” because some of the patches it used to 
contain have been integrated into the default branch already, and because 
hopefully at some point that will happen to more of them and it will become 1.6 
for real.  (But don’t hold your breath.)

Unfortunately, things are actually a little messier than that, because IgH are 
adding some additional features and fixes directly to stable-1.5 and not always 
porting them across to default as well, hence why I added the “stable” folder 
in the patchset to bring them back into alignment.

Subject: Difference between "default" and "stable-1.5" branches

Hello everyone.
What is the difference between "default" and "stable-1.5" branches of the 
SourceForge repository?
I know the"default" version is the one for applying Gavin's patchest to.
Is "stable-1.5" basically "default" + the patches in "stable" folder of the 
patchset?
Best,
Mohsen
