mixture of HEAD and gnome-2-0 break things

[Ali Akcaagac <ali akcaagac stud fh-wilhelmshaven de>]

hi,

another aspekt that i want to come up with. we all know that compiling
gnome 2.0 from cvs right now depends on a mixture of gnome-2-0 and head
branches. since a couple of days things start to become unconfortable
for gnome-2-0 now because:

a) developers concentrate on HEAD only.
b) because these developers did not made a gnome-2-0 branch for their
   modules.

a good example (which i reported to alex l. already) is librsvg which is
tagged HEAD and recently got a bunch of new scalability code inside. now
if someone compiles a STABLE gnome (a gnome that is not meant to break)
we get funny icons with jimmac's gorilla theme. maybe it's just a theme
issue because it's not fixed for the new code. but what i want to point
out here is that it may be good to branch the stuff before applying new
code to anything which may end in an "experimental condition". i fear
that these things may also happen to other modules. so please if you
develop on HEAD please consider making a gnome-2-0 branch of your module
first so people that still deal with stable stuff can use the stable
stuff.

thanks.
