Trunk is the reference, but during a release cycle, I am following  
the practice laid out by a number of other projects of focusing all  
my work on the release branch.  Then once the release is done, I'll  
merge those changes into trunk.  Otherwise, it is a lot of work  
maintaining changes in two branches at the same time.
