Hello Yannick,

during this period of time when OpenERP trunk is said to be too unstable to
be deployed outside of a SaaS, my advise is to use git-subtree to extract
key features as individual modules that can be backported alone without too
much effort (pre-pended in your addons-path then). For instance, I think
this is absolutely the case with recurring invoice while it wouldn't be
reasonnable for quant based stock management.

I explained the idea and gave 2 examples here of such backport. Please
don't hesitate to suggest pull request if you see room for improvement or
re-synch with upstream.

Again, I'm all behind sticking with bzr with OCA and core of OpenERP, right
now, it's just that I think git is so much more appropriate for these
synchronized extractions.

Regards.
