branch proposal

Volker and I have been talking and would like to do
away with the dual branch maintenance overhead of trunk.
Most of the time trunk and SAMBA_3_0 are completely in
sync the dual checkins are just unnecessary.

I have created /branches/SAMBA_3_0_23 to handle fixes
for the the 3.0.23 series.  If you have a fix that needs
to go into 3.0.23a, please check it in here.  But let's
be as conservative as possible.

trunk has served its purposes in the past but really
is of little use today.  I propose that we

* Use SAMBA_3_0 solely for development and drop trunk.
* When we are close to shipping 3.0.24, we copy SAMBA_3_0
  to SAMBA_3_0_24 to stabilize.  but normal dev work
  goes on in SAMBA_3_0.  This also prevents the loss of
  history when we cut-over from trunk to SAMBA_3_0.
* Continue to use /branch/SAMBA_3_0_RELEASE to cut
  the tarballs for official releases.

For any really risky work, we can either use bzr or svn
tmp branches.

Comments?
