Where a code change goes depends on what it is - bug fixes go into both 
trees, Changes which
are due to the reworking of interfaces etc in 2.5 clearly only go into 
the 2.5 tree. The 2.4 tree
is not at all stationary.

Actually there has been a fair amount of fixing going on in 2.4 
recently, a couple of nasty little bugs and quite a lot
of code cleanup. Almost all the take messages have been for this, in 
general I have not been posting 2.5 take messages
except for when I merge a new patch into the tree. I am definitely not 
posting the take messages when I merge a
2.4 change into the 2.5 tree. The message body should say which tree is 
being updated.
