But my larger point is that once the decision is made to "branch for release" then only the last bug fixes should go into the branch. In my view it was a grave error to "branch for release" and then declare - we're going to release with V2. Much better would be to say: Hence forth in the HEAD - only V2 will be used. Then after a while when the HEAD seems to be running pretty smoothly, then "branch for release" and make the last changes.
Sounds good. We'll try this approach the next time.
In other words changes/additions for features shouldn't be made in a release branch. That ends up consuming lots of time.
Agreed. FWIW the decision to use v2 was made a long time ago. Thomas PS: What's the status with respect to outstanding serialization regressions. Is there anything I can do to help get these fixed? -- Thomas Witt witt@acm.org
