Just a note on adding drivers to the Testing branch: if you use 'svn
copy' instead of 'svn add', then SVN keeps the file history in the
copy. If changes are needed during backporting, you can use the
working-copy syntax of 'svn copy' (i.e. don't use full URLs) and the
changeset will then show the differences between the trunk and Testing
branches.

It's certainly not a problem to do it the way you did, but SVN does
have some pretty neat capabilities that make it easier to track the
ancestry of a file.
