well, in my case the fix has already been developed. Of course, it could 
be backported into a cloned repository, but having seperate repositories 
for each version means that you don't have the complete history in one 
repository so that tools showing the different branches don't work any 
longer, correct?

Furthermore I think you need significantly more disk space if each 
developer would have to keep several cloned repositories in his 
homedirectory.

Ok, I will have a look at this.

Guido
