Re: Include this bug fix in next 1.2.x release?

[John Locke <..hidden..>]

Personally, I don't want to take effort away from 1.3/2.x. So now let me
change my mind and say "don't bother" with a checkbox.

On the earlier DVCS dicussion, I'd vote for git (because we already use
it for everything -- and keep a git mirror of the lsmb svn tree here:
git://git.freelock.com/git/ledgersmb.git - browsable at
http://git.freelock.com/?p=ledgersmb.git;a=summary). So I would just
create a new branch for the unpatched version, for those who need the
old behavior...

+1 for making the behavior correct and as expected by default, with a
prominent notice of the fix in the release notes. And I can create an
unpatched branch in my repo if somebody really needs the old behavior.

Cheers,
John Locke
