Code Branch...

[David W. Taylor]

Joel,

This weekend I will begin thinking about which features would be 
beneficial to both Bugzilla and the Support System. It would be 
great if there are places where my development team and I can devote some 
time to Bugzilla *before* beginning a separate code branch, but eventually I think 
the functionality of a Support System is sufficiently different to merit 
an entirely distinct trunk.
