hallo
i would create a branch to keep 'my own' things together:
- xamp 1.0 original (put in trunk)
- create a branch 'my own 1.0'
change everything you need in your branch.
when xamp 2.0 arrives, replace the trunk files (well update them)
then create a new branch 'my own 2.0'
then merge the changes from branch 1.0 to 2.0, if only configs are
affected (no recompiled executables, images, whatever) things may go
pretty well. but not completely automatic. thats an illusion ;)
