Not sure when it stopped being so, but we always created release tags for the releases and do away with the staging branches. I find it confusing as to which branches to commit to when we have dead branches lying around. Regarding 0.23.*, you are right, I was about to send a separate email rega

Done with deletion of the staging branch. Also updated all CHANGES.txt to point to a running branch-2 instead of a release. When we decide to make a release branch, we can separate sections then. Thanks, +vinod On Jun 5, 2012, at 4:40 PM, Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli wrote: > Hi, > > I see two b
