I missed that because I was in holliday at the time.

I'd just want to point that it's a quite bad idea to develop 
in "branches". we did that for KDE, but it's awful, because everyone 
expect to see the "last" version be in the trunk (not to mentione the 
really hard merges). In KDE we only branch before any new "big" 
release, or for the branch of packages that is in stable.

I reckon vim7 is not strictly in unstable atm, we may suffer a "bit" 
when it'll change.
