It sounds great, but that requires that the commit would only include
bugfixes and nothing related to the new version. And as i know thats the way
it should work, it took a lot of time to educated the team to use svn, and a
lot more time it would require to say them that they never had to mix in a
same commit bugfixes to previous versions and new features.

Both strategies had pros & cons, so i guess that it depends on the team and
the project.
Thanks!
