The current "production" release is Bacula version 1.38.2. Between the time it was released (22 November 2005) and now, there are a number of bugs that have been fixed, which some users might want to include in their system. The problem is that these fixes are for the most part in version 1.39, and are quite difficult to back port to 1.38.
I may be stating the obvious, but I've seen other projects leverage CVS to handle this. When a new release is on the horizon, a branch is opened and Release Candidates are tagged on the branch up to the actual release; I gather that Bacula worked like this, but I only had a look. Subsequent fixes are performed on this branch, however, and result in point releases of the branch. This makes somewhat "easy" to make point release 1.38.x; these fixes are then merged on the trunk after a while.
