Well, your question was not quite the same. You asked how to get the branch. I know how to get it. Im asking a more fundamental question, what is the status of that branch. Alec answered that now. I would personally really like it if this was officially the default into the future. A bug-maintained release branch, separate from the trunk.

you don't have any hay to get the branch "0.5.2-devel", that was what i was asking, and it is in the same spirit of your question (at least i was trying to do the same as you, get a stable release with new bugfixes applied, and not a trink/alpha-state release)
i think we should need to have some kind of policy, to release a new "stable+bugfixes" release every fixed time, say a week or so, so the bugfixes get a stable/usable release more often.
more and more people are using RC in production, so it would be great to have this supported "stable" release. At least i am pursuing that goal. Right now i'm digging into tickets which blocks stable releases and try to understand the problem and fix them, or help devs to fix them.
may be somebody could have write permission to svn and "backport" the bugfixes to a stable tree, some kind of dev model like are using the kernel developers with a policy like "trunk first" so we don't have duplicated work. I will do that work for a few days on my SVN to see how difficult it is and to see if i have de knowledge to do that work and how it mixes with my day to day work.
