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
