That isn't at all what I had in mind. Rather, a release, say 1.35 would start with the previous release - 1.34 in this case. Developers, who have been working in devel (which is equivalent to the old HEAD), branch/tag their code at the point they think it is OK as "stable". Then when it comes time to do a release a script run by the release manager tries to merge code for the library from "stable" to the release candidate branch (working in library dependency order, with cycles broken when necessary).
I'm a bit confused... is "stable" a branch, or just a way to refer to certain points in the development of a library?
