I guess my point was that we do need to test the branch but rather only the tag. So the only important part is to ensure consistency between CHANGES.txt and the tag (and jira, but that can be changed after the fact too).Then I do all testing based on the tag. If I find any issues I start again (i.e. make the necessary changes and update CHANGES.txt and/or move the tag). So as long as there are no issues found during the final testing, which is usually the case at least in 0.94, there is never any issue with other commits.

I won't be able to commit to the branch if someone has changed upstream, so when that happens I fetch, rebase, redo the tag, then push. Upstream doesn't get messy.

Usually for me, it is mostly running update CHANGES.txt, run make_rc.sh, then tag.
