But is there a need to have any changesets in the "trunk" named branch?
Couldn't the historical changesets just be in an unnamed branch, being
ancestor of so many named branches?

I'd like to prevent people from mistakenly committing onto the trunk,
which would be easiest if trunk didn't exist at all.
