I don't have a problem with the pumpkin holder approach at all (which  
is why I didn't just commit this to trunk)

I would like to see tiny (but important) patches go to latest  
unprotected branch, wherefrom miller can just cherry pick changes from  
branches to trunk, so:

[someDeveloper]:

svn checkout branches/buggyBranch
[edits s_inter.c]
svn commit -m "I fixed bug 37654"
revision 20

[miller]:

svn diff -rHEAD s_inter.c
[oooh yummy change]
svn merge -r 20:HEAD svn://puredata/branches/buggyBranch
[slurp]

In the meantime, what branch do people think bugfixes like this one  
should go into?
