RE: Develop on branch or mainline...

I think the best way to approach this is to read
http://www.enteract.com/~bradapp/acme/branching/ and
choose the strategy that best fits the environment.

Personally, I prefer branch-per-release (where bugs
are fixed) and use branch-per-task when the task is
large enough to warrant a branch.  If more control is
needed, branch-per-task can be used to create change
sets to better control changes going into a system.
