The same of course applies to code, but in the case of the tests we may find that more cross-branch integration is needed, especially if we are going to do a lot of improvement on site tests in the next 2 weeks.

There were fixes to the tests that I committed to trunk. I think mot of
them should be backported to the branch by virtue of them being fixes.
