So the beta repository is the latest stable version plus bugfixes? How do
you distinguish between new-feature commits and bugfix commits from trunk?

I look specifically at commit r5778 as an example which has various items,
and at least two of each type:

--8<-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* BUG: Fix possible bugs when [...]
* BUG: Really erase old elements [...]
* OPT: Current and the enumerators [...]
* OPT: Remove workaround code [...]
* NEW: Expose List.Current as a [...]
* NEW: List.Value is what [...]
* NEW: Add List.Current.Index and [...]
* NEW: Add a List.AutoNormalize property [...]
* NEW: Add List.MoveTo() to point Current [...]
* NEW: List.Current.Is{First,Last,Valid} [...]
--8<-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Would this be picked for beta from your system or not? How would I make
commits that play together with your system?

And what happens when a bugfix commit builds on top of a new feature, i.e.
can't be applied?

Tobi
