[LLVMdev] [3.5 Release] Branch Policy

[Bill Wendling]

Hi Developers,

This is to clarify which patches may be merged into the 3.5 branch.

* All doc changes may go in. In fact, you’re encouraged to update the branch's ReleaseNotes.rst file! :-)

* All non-documentation patches should first receive approval from the appropriate code maintainer. (A blanket approval is acceptable for the first phase of testing.)

* If your patch fixes a major bug, it may go in.

* If your patch is to complete an *existing* feature, then it may go into the 3.5 branch. However, this feature must be completed by Phase II of testing.

Once Phase II testing starts, we will be accepting only those patches that fix major bugs.

Share and enjoy!
