svnmerge works very well, we use it to maintain the fpc fixes branches.
 After you branched (from a certain version of trunk), you can easily
merge revisions to fixes or display unmerged revisions.

BTW: I guess the best solution is to introduce a fourth version number
like 0.9.22.1 to mark the stable branch till 1.0.x is out and you can
follow the fpc version numbering scheme.
