I go for option 1 as well. I just started looking back through the log
messages since 1.1.3 and there are a lot of bugfixes as well as a lot of
new features. Trying to merge these could be a nightmare, and it would
be easy to miss out an essential step from a bugfix which has been done
in stages over nearly 400 revisions.
Some of the bugfixes I found in the first 100 revisions are:
Spaces in URLs
Export-all exports .svn dirs
Making scintilla controls work with Korean, Chinese, etc.
A lot more little fixes to make scintilla behave better (and not crash).
Many double quote problems with external tools.
Need Thunderbird support in crashrpt.
Remove multiple files causes crash.
... the list goes on
And of course there are the better branch and merge dialogs. It's easy
to forget just how much has happened in a few weeks.
If you go back to 1.1.3 plus fixes, you have to replace the nightly.
Will all the nightly testers downgrade to give it a good shake out, or
will they just stick with the last good nightly? You could end up with a
hardly-tested 1.1.4 which creates more bug reports than HEAD.

I would say disable the cache by default, but maybe add it to the
settings dialog (temporarily) so more people can test it, and switch it
off if there are big problems.
