 It seems to me we could already now create a git symbolic-ref named
 REL9_3_STABLE that points to master, get all those services updated for
 the new name, and when the actual branching is supposed to happen, we
 just remove the symbolic-ref and make a real branch, and everything else
 should already be in place.

 I have never actually used symbolic-ref, but after playing with it a
 little bit, it seems it should work fine for this purpose.

 Comments?

I think we should just go ahead and really create the branch.  The CF
is supposed to start in a week.

 Just want to ask, what exactly you want, is like this
 1. you want to create symbolic -ref as _git symbolic-ref
 refs/heads/REL9_3_STABLE refs/heads/master_
 2. which will show in _git branch_ as  
  REL9_3_STABLE - master
  * master
 3. Then you want to  checkout to REL9_3_STABLE , and pull the all
 changes pointing to master?
 4. while actual happened then want to create  branch REL9_3_STABLE?
 
 Is this way? 

yes

 The buildfarm has had a mechanism for handling this for a little while
 now. See
 http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto#Using_run_branches.pl

That helps if you run all the branches anyway.  But I think my request
is still useful for other places.

its should work fine, because any how we just going to add symbolic-ref which 
contain  ref: refs/heads/master.

Just want to ask, what exactly you want, is like this
1. you want to create symbolic -ref as _git symbolic-ref 
refs/heads/REL9_3_STABLE refs/heads/master_
2. which will show in _git branch_ as  
 REL9_3_STABLE - master
 * master
3. Then you want to  checkout to REL9_3_STABLE , and pull the all changes 
pointing to master?
4. while actual happened then want to create  branch REL9_3_STABLE?

Is this way?
