Comment:
it's git not svn

  
  See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ-CpGsCpM0 for an in-depth explanation of why fixes should be merged forwards from more-stable branches, rather than backported from trunk.
  
- This workflow also makes it so svn knows what commits have been made to earlier branches but not to trunk: if you forget to merge a fix immediately, the next time someone goes to merge from the branch, svn will incorporate the forgotten ones too.
