John and Lars, you both did not directly answer Michaels question. So what should he do now? IMHO a simple "yes", "no", or "yes, but only in a separate branch" would be in order.

Maybe one reason for this is that people don't know how branches work exactly. Lars, from your commit messages I see that you follow a different procedure than I know from CVS times to update your branches. I guess everybody knows how to create a branch: svn copy svn+ssh://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk svn+ssh://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/mybranch but what is the preferred method to rebase it with trunk? The svn book is not very helpful here. It would be very nice if you could explain it with a few sentences. This could then be put in the wiki. Georg
