> I'm assuming this always pulls HEAD from master to cut the release. Do we
need or desire any support for cutting a release from a non-HEAD commit?
It would be very useful to continue to merge PRs into master while a
release is being voted on.
I had thought that @mattf-horton use to do the releases in such a way that
this was not a problem, but I could be wrong.
For example, this morning I merged PR #1174 into master that I don't
necessarily want in the next release. I didn't think about the potential
impact to the release if we have to cut a new RC. Sorry about that @justinleet
