2) What is the process to update a branch with all changes

since the 2.065 branches were created but the actual betas are not
yet prepared. Going forward, this is the only time this will occur.
If branch does not have own commits to be preserved and needs to just
be synced with master state (assuming D-Programming-Language remote is
named `upstream`):
git fetch upstream # download current remote state
git checkout 2.065 # go to release branch
git reset --hard upstream/master # make it identical to current master
git push -f origin 2.065 # update own fork
git push -f upstream 2.065 # update branch in core repos, careful
here!
I can't imagine any other case when one may want to update release
branch from master so it must the what you need.
Note that, at least phobos repository already has some own commits in
2.065 branch.

I which case, updating with master will be counter productive. Thanks
for the heads up. I will just have to rely on the devs to cherry-pick
what was not originally included in the branch.
