Christine Poerschke commented on SOLR-10294:
--------------------------------------------

I would also favour a "docs-with-code" approach including merging "backwards" 
from master into the upcoming release branch e.g. branch_6x.

For docs (but not code) to follow a merging "forward" from branch_6x into 
master when it's time for the next major version seems counter-intuitive and 
could be building up merge trickiness, trickiness which if tackled on an 
as-we-go-along basis should be more manageable.

> Since one of the reasons to move off Confluence is to provide online docs for 
> specific versions of Solr, we should agree up front how we'll manage working 
> with the branches.
> There are two general proposals on the table so far:
> #  Make all changes in 'master' (trunk) and backport to branches for
> releasing the content. We'd need to merge "backward" into upcoming
> release branch.
> # Make all changes in branch_6x (or branch_7x, etc.) and only move
> things to master when they are only applicable to unreleased next
> major version. We'd merge 6x "forward" when it's time for next major
> version.
> Some discussion on this started in the mailing list, so I'll copy the 
> feedback received so far on this as comments to this issue.
