That I'll object in principle. :-) We should not put fixes in
a branch that we don't fix on the trunk. That's bad practice that
lends itself to a bug being forgotten and reappearing on the
next release. Best put it both on the trunk and on the branch, and
then replace the fix with a better one on the trunk when we have it.
