CONTRIBUTE states "Release branches […] are mainly intended for more-conservative changes such as bug fixes. […] If you are fixing a bug that exists in the current release, be sure to commit it to the release branch; […]" For me this makes it clear that bug fixes are always appropriate on the release branches. If the actual policy is different, please document it in CONTRIBUTE. I've seen some talk about bugfix-only releases, but I think the policy should be clearer and better documented to avoid such discussions. -- Google Germany GmbH Erika-Mann-Straße 33 80636 München Registergericht und -nummer: Hamburg, HRB 86891 Sitz der Gesellschaft: Hamburg Geschäftsführer: Matthew Scott Sucherman, Paul Terence Manicle Diese E-Mail ist vertraulich.
