Other branches
==============
Django uses branches to prepare for releases of Django.
In the past when Django was hosted on Subversion, branches were also used for
feature development. Now Django is hosted on Git and feature development is
done on contributor's forks, but the Subversion feature branches remain in Git
for historical reference.
Stable branches

===============
Django uses branches to prepare for releases of Django. Each major release
series has its own stable branch.
These branches can be found in the repository as ``stable/A.B.x``
branches and will be created right after the first alpha is tagged.

When Django moved from Subversion to Git, the information about branch merges
wasn't preserved in the source code repository. This means that the ``master``
branch of Django doesn't contain merge commits for the above branches.
