Allright, I'm ok with "Github-flow" : master is trunk/develop, ie the
"current" state.
(Btw, "Github flow", "Git Blow", "Git Flow"... wtf ??? come on !!!)

Btw, instead of having the version 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT, it's usually better to
have a "latest" version on that branch. I mean, you don't really know if
next version will be 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT : it's just the "next release". So
instead of 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT, I would use LATEST-SNAPSHOT on master.

Then when creating the release branch, we set the appropriate version.

Now for bugs. Let's say a bug arrives on 1.6.0. I guess we fix them on the
release branch and try to merge this on master ?

Cheers
