This is exactly why I brought it up last time. There is obviously
something wrong when the people that are supposed to know better are
making mistakes? It is just confusing to have the branch there....
it is not a branch just a temp place we worked wile packaging the
release.
I suggest next time we are creating a milestone, preview or tag only
(unsupported) release, we don't create the temp branch in branches.
+1 to remove the confusing, non-supported, temporary branch we
created for 1.0-M5 packaging.

The last nail in the coffin for me was when, in a sleep deprived
state, I got a little disoriented and built the M5 installer from
the branch directory rather than the tag directory. Accidents happen.
A simple svn copy cheaply creates a new branch, keeps it clear its
different than the tag, and gives someone a place to work with it.
The possibility of that is small, so we'll just let the person
create it when they wish to do something weird. :)

I don't understand the harm of leaving the branches - it costs
nothing since it's already created, it keeps the history clear,
and it gives someone an opportunity in the future to work with
it. I know the probability of that is small, but people do weird
things...

Can we kill this old branch?
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/branches/1.0-M5
We have a tag for it here.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/tags/1_0_M5
And can we also agree that we don't leave branches hanging around
after every release unless that is planned to be an actual branch
point?
