Not sure if it's backwards or not but here is what I do, though I start
doing a little branch dance around release time. Goes something like
this:
1. slog away on trunk towards 1.0
2. release 1.0, create /tags/1.0
3. create /branches/1.0
4. work towards 2.0 on trunk
5. user finds bug in 1.0, can't wait until our next release cycle so fix
it in /branches/1.0
6. after bug is fixed, create another tag, /tags/1.0.1
In that context I strictly use the branch for minor bugfixes. I usually
don't even do a merge from branch to trunk on the bugfix because it's
possible the trunk code has been refactored. Instead I just fix the bug
in two places, if it even exists in the trunk at all.
