Branches

 

I wonder if there is a point in keeping 5.1 and master branches
separated. In 5.1 there is a lot of new code that will need patches, and
they need to be applied to both branches now. If we keep adding more
features to the master branch, then at one point the branch may diverge
significantly enough to make patch porting non trivial.

What do you think about replacing the current master branch with 5.1?
This way we can focus on the wxGTK3 problem, fix issues that we discover
and once 5.1 is out - keep adding new features to 6.0-dev? For the time
being new features might be developed in private branches.

BTW. I really like 5.1 UI improvements, good job Jeff!

Cheers,
Orson
