Before 0.6.x I developed the single branch. However, I understand that
by no means all people like development versions. My very self is in
the same position in relation to the FreeBSD CURRENT/STABLE branches.
Therefore a stable branch should exist at least for bugfixes.
I do not want to add many new features to the stable branch, however,
I do want that the try_files would become a common pattern instead of
if/rewrite's, so I will add it to stable branch.
