[webkit-dev] WebKit version numbers?

[Johan Lund]

Thanks Mark.

I tried to search for the specific revision like this:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser?rev=32664
Is this a correct way to search for it?
What branch should I keep an eye on if I want to see if it makes it  
into the next version of Safari?
