I am also worried about the concerns raised by Ajith and then Eran.
Especially the decision around when to create the branch and what fixes should be propagated to the trunk are going to be a bit tricky.
I also agree that the workload for the RM is going to be increased substantially.
How about if we free the RM of his other duties (bug fixes ..etc) and get him to do RM on a full-time basis during the release cycle?
We need a person to fully manage the release process, especially make the important decisions of which fixes are propagated to trunk ..etc without being burdened by other tasks.

+1 to creating the branch.
As to the timing of the creating the branch, It seems it needs to be created
at the point when we are asked to stop committing new function to HEAD,
i.e. "code freeze".

Ajith,
Branching before would allow others to continue longer term development
items while the final fixes are being applied to the upcoming release.

Hi guys,
If I understand right the branching usually happens at the same time of
a release (or slightly after) and is usually used to fix issues in that
particular release. We can definitely use a branch before the release but
is there any particular reason why we need a branch before the release
?
