So, how does Emacs handle the branches? Don't know about Emacs, but XEmacs does it the wrong way around: the new development is on a branch (release-21-2). (There's a comment on the web page somewhere that they plan to change this.) Your initial paragraph describes it as it should be, IMHO: cut a branch to support bug fixes and things for pgnus, and ognus should be on the head.
