I have one comment here.

Based on our last discussions it seemed more appropriate to name the new branch 
"branches/roller_1.x" because it represents any continued development in the 
1.x series of Roller.

If we want to capture a snapshot of just what is going into a specific release 
then I suggest we do like Henri mentioned in a previous email and create a 
tags/ directory which can be just the files that make up a specific release.

So that would mean we would have this ...

branches/roller-1.x (any continued development against 1.x happens here)
trunk (current development branch representing 2.x)
tags/roller-1.3 (snapshot for the 1.3 release)

... then after the 2.0 release ...

tags/roller-2.0

etc,etc.

the idea being that we keep the number of development branches limited to just 
1 branch per major version number, but we can still keep a record of each 
release using the tags dir.  does that make sense?  or is that convoluted?
