Hi David,

My personnal take and preference is that you start with a known base (0.83
in this case) and make two copies of it. One tree for development and one
for reference. As you make changes to the dev tree, you release one patch
at a time agaist the reference tree. Of course, you sould add versions to
your patch (dates, version numbers, etc).

Regards,
