Branches

  • master is the main branch containing good code that will end up in the next release. You should base your work on it. It won't ever be rebased or force-pushed to.

  • vx.y branches exist to make patch releases on otherwise obsolete minor releases. Should only contain fixes cherry picked from master. Don't base any work on them.

  • Other branches are probably topic branches and may be subject to rebasing. Don't base any work on them unless you specifically know otherwise.
