This may seem like a silly question for those on the project for awhile, but
why are the Devs committing changes to the rel-2-2 branch?

Historical reason: there was a plan to use Java 1.5 for JMeter, but a
lot of users were not ready for that, so the 2.x branches were created
to continue work on 1.3/1.4 code.

As it happens, work on the trunk stopped through lack of time.

Isn't 2.2 the current stable release?

Yes.

Is the policy to copy the released code to Trunk
until the next release?

Do projects do that? Surely it is the other way round?

It seems to me that with the current practice, none
of the branches actually reflect the code released as binaries to the
community.

Strictly speaking, that's true ...

However branches are not used for releases - that's what tags are used for.

Unless there is a need to branch the code, why create a new branch?

Just wondering about the policy.  If someone could clarify it for this
newbie I would appreciate it.

HTH.
