I really, really, really strongly believe we shouldn't do branches unless we use a dscm like bzr to do it. SVN makes frequent integration painful, but frequent integration is the only way to keep things from diverging horribly in the long run.
Via launchpad, we do already have a bzr mirror which tracks trunk that people can clone from, so there is no technical obstacle to using bzr at this point. The main missing piece is that I'd like to see a way to push commits back up to SVN from bzr, like you can with git. (In the worst case you can simply extract a changeset as a patch and do things that way, however.)
