Yeah, if single source doesn't work, then I think Antoine's suggested way (i.e. convert once, then maintain two distinct branches and builds, the way python-dev did for years with the standard library) is a more sane option. It lets you investigate tracebacks properly, it reduces your cycle times, etc, etc. With a modern DVCS, it should be significantly less painful than it was for us when we were maintaining four branches with only svnmerge to help out.
