+1,  The trunk should *always* say 'unreleased' or 'trunk', except in
the five minutes before cutting a release tag (if not using a release
branch).  Release branches should have '-branch' or something appended
to the version, except just before cutting a release tag.

Anything else makes it too easy to cut a premature / broken release;
such mistakes are going to damange  our story if we don't get out ahead
of them.
