Really it doesn't matter whether you deveop on the trunk or use the
trunk only for released code. If you need to make a fix to an earlier
release, you can still start a fix branch off the commit for that
release.
I am assuming that your client's reason for wanting the use the trunk
only for release is that they think it would be easier for
non-developer users to access the trunk. Really, it doesn't matter. It
is all just folder names to SVN. You could just as easily have a
"Release" branch and a "Development" branch, with no "trunk".
