In case you missed it, our branch policy is now that we work mainly on the 
latest release branch (bug-fixes, small improvements). However, we also do some 
work on develop (new features, backward-incompatible changes).

<http://docs.django-cms.org/en/release-3.3.x/contributing/development-policies.html#branches>

Most pull requests that land in release *also* need to go to develop, of 
course, so need to be forward-ported.

Here's the problem: 
<https://github.com/divio/django-cms/compare/develop...release/3.3.x>.

That looks like a lot of commits that need to be merged into develop, but in 
fact nearly all of them are there already. They were cherry-picked into 
develop, which unfortunately changes the commit hashes, so Git doesn't actually 
know that they are there already.

The danger is that this is confusing and could lead to some commits being 
inadvertently left out of develop.

Merging the release/3.3.x branch into develop would tidy up that comparison, 
because a merge operation preserves the commit hashes. However, merging would 
merge all of those commits, including some that do things that should not find 
their way into develop - like 
<https://github.com/divio/django-cms/commit/3d67879973aac61be97ed240262421f35f5d8c4a>.

Is there a way to resolve this dilemma? Or, is there something about out our 
branching policy that means we're stuck with it?
