This will indeed make the branch pages shorter, but I still think it
doesn't make sense to display bug reports in trunk branches because it's
obvious that all (or almost all) fixed bugs are there. If a user wants
to know in which branch a bug is fixed, he looks at the bug page. If a
user wants to see a list of bugs fixed in the development version, he
looks at a particular milestone or searches for Fix Committed bugs.
Seeing a list of bugs in a trunk branch is useless, in my opinion.

This is why I think that instead of saying "this bug is fixed in this
branch" (which is always true for trunks) it's better to say "this bug
is fixed in this revision". This would be also a nice and useful
information to have.

Please note that I don't want to say goodbye to the "bug-branch links"
feature. It's still very very useful in many cases. I would like just to
avoid the *automatic* creation of links, at least for trunk branches,
both because it makes the page longer and also because it doesn't have
much sense (IMO).

Thanks,
Andrea
