Right now I could use the develop branch because I have made the
modifications that remove the old solution files and updates the solution
to visual studio 2015. It makes no sense to make those changes either in
the feature branch, nore the master branch but I would like to push those
changes somewhere such that anyone could merge those changes into master.
I'm starting a lazy vote now.

[Matt Sicker]

The master branch holding only production tags is useful for making a
production hotfix release. For example, this would be useful in making
security patches. As for holding release branches, in my use of git-flow,
I've always deleted them after merging back to develop, but in
theory, it could be used for cherry-picking bug fixes and such to make
multiple releases. Whether we'd want to support multiple version branches
somewhat relies on how easy of a process that is for release managers to
follow. We only use a single release train in Log4j, but that's partially
due to the complexity in making a release.
