That branch is a "sponsored" change. We are in communication with the sponsor asking if they will consider WITH RECURSIVE syntax. Their original request specified Oracle10g-compatible CONNECT-BY syntax. It depends on what the sponsor really wants. (We await their reply.)
The code will only make it into trunk if the sponsor selects WITH RECURSIVE.
