As for the purpose of the branch: We need a known version that we have verified works for us, for our production builds. We would like to be using the tip of the trunk, in order to get recent fixes, but some of the recent commits have broken things for us. Until we have time to track those down and get them corrected, we need a place to add some of our own fixes based on a version that is stable for us.
We will also try to build from the trunk when we have a chance during our development, and find, report, or fix any issues we run into. But we've found that the tip is too risky (understandably!) for deployment builds.
Hopefully, our fixes can be merged into the trunk, and we can jump our branch ahead (or create new branches, I guess) to later points along the trunk periodically, when we are able to verify a version that works for us.

Added: libs/gui/branches/testplant_1/ - copied from r28233, libs/gui/trunk/Hi Greg, could you please explain the purpose of this new branch? I can see that Doug and Jonathan have started using it. Most of the changes they made up to now are perfectly legitimate for trunk (Apart from those already in trunk and that GSContext change. I am unsure about the NSOpenPanel patch) Who will be porting these changes back to trunk? Currently the commits on the branch are without Change log entries, how are we going to add these?
I think I can agree with Fred here, keeping the ChangeLog would make things much easier in the futuere event of a merge.
