I want to understand aspects in version control policy. - What the principles of branches? I.e. what the relation between, say, master, binutils-2_28-branch and gdb-7.12-branch? What the relation between binutils-2_28-branch and published binutils 2.28, gdb-7.12-branch and published GDB 7.12.1? - Is bot's commits (like 40d57b1947) really useful? Thanks, - ptr
