Isn't the more typical workflow to branch the release from develop, do the stabilization there, then create the tag. If needed, you would merge from develop to the release branch. I am not sure you would merge back from the release branch back to develop and then cut a new tag. Perhaps I am missing something?
In general, I would agree that develop should never be closed for new work. -- justin On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 7:02 PM, William Markito <wmark...@pivotal.io> wrote: > That's not what I understood. > > My understanding is that we would call for the release and create a branch > from develop and do the remaining work for the release there AND let > develop continue it's flow. > > After release work is complete, we then merge it on master, tag it and > delete the release branch. > > Does that make sense ? > > On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 3:58 PM, Dan Smith <dsm...@pivotal.io> wrote: > >> So to be clear, even though we are creating a release branch, nothing >> should be checked in to develop that is not intended for the 1.0.0 release. >> I'm fine with that.
