I personally think is sane to do frequnt commits and, if you feel that
you will destabilize the code too much, you can use branches and
tagging. The Subversion book has information about merging and good
prctices when using svn.
Also, frequent commits help to track closely the history of the changes.
OTOH, I don't really know what is the policy in debian-installer
regarding the stability of the code.
