Was there ever a conclusion to this? I need to merge the patches associated with issue 4597 from trunk to all the maintenance branches, and I'd like to avoid messing anyone up if possible. If I don't hear back, I'll plan to svnmerge directly from trunk to each of the branches, and then block my merge to py3k from being merged again to release30-maint.

Several people have asked about the patch and merge flow. Now that Python 3.0 is out it's a bit more complicated.
Flow diagram ------------
trunk ---> release26-maint \-> py3k ---> release30-maint
Patches for all versions of Python should land in the trunk. They are then merged into release26-maint and py3k branches. Changes for Python 3.0 are merged via the py3k branch.
