I think I understand, but I am curious: At what point would we trash the minor release branch? For example, would we have trashed 1.4 by now? When would we trash the 1.5 branch? Also, do we tag from the short-lived branch 1.4.5-SNAPSHOT? When we delete the branch, will the tag preserve the history of what happened on that branch? E.g all of the commits that took us from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5?
