Shirley, its a mistake to use branches/1.0/src/linux-kernel/ in the first place.
It's unmaintained and seems to be there for historical reasons.
Only branches/1.0/src/userspace/ is maintained. This was discussed e.g. here
http://openib.org/pipermail/openib-general/2006-April/019855.html

If you feel a need for a stable tag for internal testing/development, I suggest
to go ahead and create one under contrib/ibm.  This is what Mellanox does -
updating this from time to time is very low maintainance, seems to work well for
us.
