We have been using git for quite some time. As I said, the 2.3 release is Java 1.6. If or when we need another Java 1.6 release we will create a branch off the 2.3 release tag. In the meantime, master is moving forward with Java 1.7. We do not plan to move all new work done on master to a Java 1.6 branch.
