[Rt-devel] Subversion path changes

[Jesse Vincent]

After a fair bit of internal debate, we've settled on a new 
repository layout. It's not ideal, but I'm not sure we'll get an ideal
solution until subversion supports native symlinks. With this solution,
when an RT release hits a version bump, you'll need to execute a simple 
'svn switch' command to move your checkout to the "new branch."  Once
subversion has a release that supports native symlinks, we should be
able to relieve the need for the "svn switch"

          release.
    TESTING: Odd minor version
        - Featureset slush.
        - Recommended for new development and test deployments
    RELEASE: Even minor version number
        - All bugfixes, minor features.
        - NO SCHEMA CHANGES.
        - Loc-string changes discouraged.
