What is the purpose of maint exactly? In Emacs git repository there's master and emacs24. All commits apply to master first, while some are cherry picked onto emacs24. The emacs24 branch will never be merged into master: it's divergent and that's fine. As I understood, for Org mode some commits are applied to maint, and then merged into master. Why? Oleh
