Updating to just a particular revision may work, but it is very easy for 
the trunk to get into a state where it would be hard to pick out just 
the fixes by updating specific files to specific revisions.  This is 
labor intensive and confusing, and therefore error prone.

Other people in this thread have suggested branches for the fixes, 
rather than branches for the features, and I agree with them. It works 
very well to use branches this way, since the minority of trunk checkins 
will have to be merged onto the fixes branch, most of your development 
is simple a checkin-to-the-trunk model.  Only when you have a fix that 
needs to leapfrog ahead of the feature work do you need to merge anything.
