Thread: Branch created, let the experiment begin ...

As decided at this years hackers conference, we are branching 
REL9_0_STABLE *before* the release, instead of after.

The hope is that we won't be taking away resources from finishing the 
release, but still allow ppl to continue to work on projects that are for 
9.1.

The branch is now created.

Before we begin this experiment, we need to stamp HEAD as 9.1devel.
As of this writing, it is still stamped as 9.0beta3.

Is Git now the authoritative source?

Right, the decision at the dev meeting (which could be OBE, so don't
take this as gospel) was that we would switch to git after the first
CF (basically, late August time-frame).
Thanks,
