Indeed. As I understand the release process in the past  /branches/4,2/trunk is 
where working copy for 4.2.0 resided. Once that was copied to 
/releases/4.2.0/trunk it was changed to be the working copy for 4.2.1 and so 
on. This is not how it was done for 5.0.0, leading to all kinds of 
complications.

Compare to / branches/4.1 that served as the working copy for the release of 
4.1.0 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.1.3

What I am asking is if we should not do it this way for 5.1.0, i.e. create a 
/branches/5.1/trunk with the release candidate (when there is a release 
candidate...) and do the necessary documentation updates there and THEN move it 
to releases?
