Work flow
This repository has two main branches 'svn-clone' and 'master'.
'master' is the standard main branch.
'svn-clone' is the up to date clone of the trunk branch in source forge.
Since currently changes are slim, the 'master' branch is being rebased every week on top of the svn-clone.
Once a fair amount of developers will use this repository, a rebase will not occur, but a normal
merge from svn-clone as depicted in this diagram.
