Talking about branching, I think we did effectively have a short-lived 
"development branch" in the git repository.  It is too painful and
inefficient to branch in the CVS, not to mention merging the branches
afterwards.  Had we have lightweight branching and merging like those
in svn / svk (I don't know about git), that short-lived development
branch could take place in the main repository.  However, IMHO, for a
large change like this, keeping the entire tree frozen for a little
while just before merging really isn't that bad an idea.
