Uh oh, my secret's out. I haven't been enforcing a freeze for 3-1-x.
I don't see it as a problem since most of the changes have been bug
fixes or really minor things.

OK, this makes sense. I'm a bit worried about the scope of these
changes for a "bug fix" release though. The simplest solution for now
is to forget expanding local_default_doc and to have GetLocal() call
GetLocalUser(). I think this would involve the fewest changes.

At this point, I have no idea how well a merge would go. Fortunately,
many of the changes haven't been to code that's moved in 3.2. (For
example, if the code in the Document::RetrieveHTTP method changed, it
could be a problem.)
The last time I did a merge though, the biggest conflicts were those
pesky $Id: $ and $Log: $ tags, which wasn't a big deal.
