Maintaining multiple versions of the same branch sounds like a lot of

release?
Making a single branch that would merge to each release track
cleanly, with preparing and maintaining semantic fixes necessary for
each track, is probably equally a lot of work, if not more. I try
to do that for this project only because I am a perfectionist for
these things (and do so for fun), but I can understand if many
others (a pragmatist in me included) consider it not worth the
effort. After all, it stops mattering once the branch finally gets
merged.
Thanks for that insight, I'd assumed the benefits of having a single
source of truth for each branch outweighed the costs but it seems that
is not necessarily the case.
Best Wishes
