Any other opinions on this?

I want to clean this up.  Backporting all of the changes in the 1.4
release branch will break some things in trunk, since the composite
package uses the new contracts with incompatible changes.  So I would
like to do the following, which I am not sure how to do in svn, so
would appreciate feedback.

1) move current trunk to a 2.0 branch
2) essentially copy 1.4 release branch to trunk, retaining history

The idea here is that what is now in trunk should have been branched
as 2.0.  I could use merge to backport changes after moving only the
composite package out, but this would mess up history on the 1.4
sources.  I am not sure what the best way to accomplish 2) is and
would appreciate comments.

Alternatively, I could copy the 1.4 release to a "1.x" branch and
leave trunk alone, temporarily dead.  That would be the easiest, but
does not seem right.

Thanks in advance for feedback.
