If we develop larger features in parallel, then those will probably have 
to be done on a branch.  We need to come up with some best practices to 
keep code in sync so that we don't spend a lot of time merging and 
handling conflicts.  I know Brian has been doing a bunch of work on the 
0.8 branch and has been merging changes from the trunk.  Now if we have 
multiple branches, for example if Brian and I are working on separate 
branches, then it may get complicated.
