ok -- since no other voice was raised -- I would follow the majority of
3 of you: I looked into python-docutils, trunk now tracks the
experimental and I guess versioned branches would be dedicated to
corresponding fixes to be uploaded to unstable/stable whatever...
So I just followed your scheme and postponed any fancy branching -- just
progressed the trunk to 0.16-1 uploaded to experimental ;) now will
wait for dcommit to finish and will tag it...

when I added "branches fetches" for my cython's git-svn it found
some elderly squeeze branch from Piotr ;)
