I thought I made it clear what the current branches were for but I will
officially reiterate my previous comments.

The development branch is currently only open for 5.1 development.  This
includes 5.0 bug fixes, Jeff's UI refactoring, and the GTK3 fixes.  No
new features will be allowed until 5.1 is released.  I want to stay
focused on 5.1 to get the gtk3 fix release asap.  My fear is that if I
open the dev branch up to new features, we will get caught up in that
and forget about the gtk3 fix.

The 5.1 branch will go away.  I just haven't gotten around to it.

The only thing left to do is figure out the branch naming issue.
Apparently we cannot come up with a branch naming convention that
doesn't cause everyone to run out of the room with their hair on fire. :)

If anyone asks again what the official policy is, please point them to
this message.

Cheers,

Wayne
