I tend to think that the history of bug fixes is more interesting than the 
history of new feature development or big refactorings.

What happens to changes done to the snapshot branch? Are they merged back to 
trunk or are they just overwritten?

An app developer using the stable branch of kdelibs might do the occasional 
bug fix in the libs, but probably doesn't have the development branch of the 
libs checked out to port patches.
