well i'm in the process of merging the old SVN/trunk with axiom--silver--1
so there will be only one SVN trunk again. the old SVN/trunk is effectively
dead.

since silver patches are being released immediately it is likely that
each changeset will be on a single topic in the future. what people
do with their individual branches is up to them. the only issue arises
when an SVN branch needs to be packaged as a changeset and merged into
silver.
