[KPhotoAlbum] Improved Image Viewer? [PATCH]

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Well there is three problems to branching.
1) I don't have enough time to maintain two branches, so I would have to let 
one branch down.

2) History has shown numerous times that as soon as I've accepted a patch into 
the code, people kind of keep interest in maintaining it. this means that I 
need to test patches with new features *before* they go into the code. With 
me focusing on the release, this would just be problems piling up for me.

3) If I branches, everyone using SVN would be using the new cool branch, and 
the release would be even less tested before released.

Hope that answers your question.
