What does this sentence mean? Create an empty branch or even to populate it
from some other branch?
The script creating the git branches has a mapping of which branch to create a
new branch from [1]. So new epel7 branches will be created from the f19 branch.
I wonder if we should rather create an empty branch and let the packager merge
the branch of his/her interest back into this new branch.
Thoughts?
I think the only safe way is to create an empty branch and not to
populate it, because there are many constraints to be considered before
a package can be added to an older branch. E.g. a package may have a
chain of dependencies, which can't be fullfilled because something else
is missing on this older release and can't be upgraded to a compatible
version.
