As Michael noted, the general policy is that only changes considered bug fixes
are back-ported.
The way that SVN works is that SVN version numbers increment sequentially for
every change to the Wireshark source repository, no matter what the change.
Therefore an update to a "release branch" gets the next new SVN version number
