Not if we cut the 1.2.x branch from the 1.2.1 branch (or at least use the same root commit). It's just a question of do we cut the branch and merge bug fix commits to it from the trunk as we make them (this requires discipline), or do we cut the 1.2.x branch later on and sift backwards through the history for bug fix commits to cherry-pick (this potentially requires lots of sifting, good commit messages, and a good memory). Neither one is perfect, but neither choice requires us to hold off on 1.3-specific changes.
My preference is to be optimistic and hope that there isn't a need for a 1.2.2 release at all, which also requires less work up front.
Ok, I can buy that. If this is OK with everyone, we can stick to it. -- Pavan -- Pavan Balaji http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~balaji
