I do not get the idea. We are not going to use trunk at all for development? That sounds wrong to me. Why do we need trunk in this case? We can just make branches from branches.

In general, development for active version should happen in trunk, not in branch. This is a purpose of trunk.

If there are commit hooks for automatic commits from branch to trunk, some of them will definitely fail. Imagine if I add a new feature to typoLink and someone fixes a bug for typoLink next day. Result: SVN conflict, no bugfix commit.
