Is the bug in trunk really such a show-stopper that you have to drop
everything you're doing and go fix it right away?

Or to put it differently, how far away are you from being able to commit
to the 1.3 branch? If you're going more than a day between commits to
1.3, you should probably be working in your own private branch of 1.3
anyway (eg. MyCode_Version_1.3_AfroBlanco).

If you want to do it this way, you can start a branch you can choose to
use your working copy as the base, so it'll make a new branch and commit
your changes to it as one operation.
