Yes, that might work out for a "release" consisting of one or two critical patches, and happening more or less instantly. But maybe it makes sense to make more of an effort to do (some of) the release specific commits first on release and then merging to master, rather than cherry-picking everything during a freeze. In that case we obviously need to merge release back to master. If we want to have one long running release branch, this leads to cross merging between the two branches.=20=20 =2D----.--------------m------m-------.-- master | ^ ^ / \ / /______v=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20= =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 \ / /v .--------+------+m-------+ 0.6 0.6.1 0.7 This is all a bit hypothetical at this point of course, since there has never been a bug-fix release. d --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iJwEAQECAAYFAk4QYVwACgkQTiiN/0Um85ng5QQAqjekVmO8oTpoAeTdoFlEXnrR oDcF3KYwhddxD0aiAbzTwPN9PRCN2ojUL0fKzKAXMsTkFhAejBDEOKSkeHdoF0fC tf/C7xm2Xfbcu8OTV0bAH79VaLZgQBqGRQGZh/RfyWCRp5llOc1R/Q58tZ2nrXoS OdS17p+qaiKXrbKL2Co= =0U2y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
