terminology when i said "from "trunk"...

hummm... i can't keep up with it because so many projects do things so many 
different ways... i was thinking it would be 2.8.0 because of trunk being 
2.7.1... but then i've been trying to figure out what fixes_2_6 was for other 
than only providing fixes for 2.6.2...
