I second that - I'd like to see a "stable" or "production" branch on
svn which is automatically followed by clients in default - Why not have
the branch to follow in the config. People can try and break things on
HEAD and once the dust has settled merge the changed to production for
clients to check.

I am running 12 CPUs in 3 machines - All of them multicore so the
breakage yesterday basically brought down all of my instances. While i
like to help fix bugs the main goal must be to keep the map up to date.

And to be honest - Its a shame to see a 8 CPU machine idle with a load
of 0.2 because the client fails on every tile request.
