[Clam-devel] Branches again?

[Pau Arumí]

It's not only the "hell of merging". The main problem I see 
--*specially* since the Zach patches era-- is that branches encourages 
developers  to go into opposite directions. I will rather prefer invest 
a  lot of time integrating  patches before allowing this to happen. I 
think having things integrated in main tree is satisfactory to every one.

IMO, the rule should be: let's first analyse the patches and see what 
integration problems have. But let's decide on technical grounds on a 
concrete patch (or patch set).
