I agree with you about lower levels of project activity at that point; my own selfish concern is about internal staffing levels for handling the new branch, on what for us is the first day back from the holidays. But as I said it's not a strong objection, we can make sure to capture the branch at the correct revision even if we don't do it exactly in the moment, and you make a reasonable argument for going with the earlier date. I don't want to stand in the way here.
