I work this way too. We develop against the trunk. And I always make a 
writable checkout. When I fix a bug, I will always do this on the trunk 
first, because I need to make sure that my customer code really works after 
the fix. It is not sensible for me to fix other branches first.

I could live with the policy of also supporting two release branches, but I 
would prefer only having to worry about one. BTW, a pain-easing script for 
merging would come a long way, in my opinion.
