-For x.y.0 releases, also create the x.y branch. The x.y branch is for
-bug fixes and conservative changes to the x.y.0 release, and is where
-we release x.y.z releases from. Creating the x.y branch opens up
-master for new development and lets new development move on. We've
-done this both after the x.y.0 release (to focus development on bug
-fixing for the x.y.1 release for a little longer) or before the x.y.0
-release (like we did with the 1.5.0 release, to unblock master
-development early).
