What is top-skimming?

The only need (from my point of view) is a log and
history of changes. Will it be preserved?

I'm OK with this, although svn is complete terra

We will need at least two branches -- one for sarge and
another for sid. When it's time for next Debian release
(after sarge), we will just fork
<next_debian_release_codename> branch from sid and so

This is how I imagine revision-controlled development
process for Debian...
