Workflow 1 ==========

When I ship beta 1, we create the 3.5 branch. trunk become 3.6. When I ship rc 1, the 3.5 branch becomes 3.5.1. I maintain a publically visible repo /on bitbucket/ for 3.5.0, and we use bitbucket "pull requests" for cherry-picks from 3.5.1 into 3.5.0. This gives us a pilot project to try out a web GUI for merging. It makes my workflow easier, as I can push a button to accept cherry-picks. (If they don't apply cleanly I can tell the author to go fix the conflict and resubmit it.) The downside: it requires core devs to have and use bitbucket accounts.

This makes a lot of sense. +1.
