 review everything related to stable, but didn't care too much about alpha
 itself (until some of alpha was planned to go to stable).

 now I was going to review stuff that was going to be released as "Vidalia"
 after you and Sebastian are done working on it in your branch, until
 someone else (probably chiiph) is ready to help out with that role. I
 didn't realize you wanted to actually do releases from that branch as
 well.

 What do you mean with "help out with that role"?
 Afaik, Sebastian isn't going to be actively developing Vidalia, he will
 help out with patches as he has done by now. So the main development will
 be done by me as it is right now.

 > But if your plan is to release everything as an alpha "Vidalia" anyway,
 then I don't think there's really much point in me keeping a separate
 branch and reviewing changes to it. So if you want to move everything to
 git*, then go for it. Don't let my opinions on git vs. svn get in the way.

 I don't quite understand this: you are ok with everything being in git,
 and you want to review changes in Vidalia-stable? and you are ok with
 Vidalia-alpha releases?
 "I don't think there's really much point in me keeping a separate branch
 and reviewing changes to it" <- this phrase is the confusing one for me.
