OK, looking at revision files I think at least the file format would
support it without having to change it.

Sometimes you don't know in advance which branch will become the most
active one after some time.  Then only merging the main development
back onto the trunk and creating a new branch for the development
which was on the the trunk previously seems to be the only solution.
I'd prefer if one could avoid that, althought I think I can live with
it.

Thanks for your answer.  For one of my current projects I will then
not create branch for the development line which will become the main
development.
