Well this doesn't do a lot in the way of substantiating. I do

understanding is that we need to branch whenever we plan a new
release, and cherry-pick bugfixes from the mainline, and such.
Disregard what I said about cherry-picking – while it would
work, I was thinking too much in terms of SVN here. With Git, the
better choice usually is to make all the commits which should end
up in the release directly on the release branch, and merge that
branch periodically back to master. If all the commits from the
release branch should also make it into master, which is usually
the case, you don't end up with two logically separate commits in
the same repository this way.
