Thankyou Lori, Nitesh, So you are saying is that
* upstream/RELEASE_*_* is created from your end with the next BioC release. * The git error message arises because upstream/RELEASE_3_11 does not exist to copy the contents of (locally created) RELEASE_3_11 into. The points under http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/ #14 did work for me, but the above explanation makes sense. Thanks!

All instructions up to point 9 work. Point 10, however fails, when creating the release branch: $ git checkout -b RELEASE_3_11 upstream/RELEASE_3_11 fatal: 'upstream/RELEASE_3_11' is not a commit and a branch 'RELEASE_3_11' cannot be created from it I wonder what I am doing wrong (seems like it should be something trivial, but I am not seeing it). Thank you for helping!
