First, as requested, your hit: *THWAP* :D

I suggest you migrate grass5 as its own project. Presumably this one
will eventually be retired. Grass6 should be imported as "Grass" (no
version identifier in its name) into the trunk folder. If the grass
addons are dependent on grass, and won't be used for other projects, I'd
add the addons into trunk along with the rest of the project. If these
addons are a bit more generic, create a separate project for them.

When you're ready to begin work on Grass7, tag the trunk for Grass6,
create a branch for Grass7. Work on v7, and periodically merge to
trunk. Etc., so forth, and so on until the end of time (or you don't
need any more Grass (whoa, cool man!). Each new version is branched
from the trunk, which should be up to date with the prior version at the
moment of branching.

This method works best with teams and processes small enough to warrant
an "unstable trunk" technique. Things get more complicated from here,
and there are plenty of resource on the web.
