Hi Sergey, I am no expert by my understanding has always been that a tag is meant to refer to a commit. And that a branch is somehow different from this and is more like a line of commits. Is it possible to make test-builds of 2.70(a) as it is no envisioned or does it only exist in the form of the wiki page that holds a list of candidates to be back-ported ? It might be a semantic discussion but I would like to just be able to checkout 2.70 + all fixes and make a test build of it. And in the future maybe even do back-porting of fixes even if mainline has moved on.
thx for your patience in explaining all this.
