Well, the way has come a long way and to reproduce it would take me a
lot of time so i would please you and the others to just take it as
given.

Well, in case of our teams code base this is true. But our teams code
base only makes up a small part of the whole trunk, so there are some
dependencies (code and compiled libs) which are different in the two
branches.
And we do have to run tests against both branches to make sure it
works with the different dependencies.
Does that make sense?

Best Regards,
Sven
