[GRASS-dev] backporting help for SVN

Markus,

Are there any policies on developers backporting their changes to  
release branches?  Do it theirselves?  Ask another to do it (ie you)  
to keep some review sanity?

I don't want to mess it up in attempting to do it myself.  I was  
hoping it would be as simple as "apply this trunk changeset to that  
branch", but it looks like I now need to have a local copy of the  
branch so I can commit the merges.  Though, mine are simple enough  
(mostly), and isolated, that I could just do a diff and commit.
