Description

We've discussed on the mailing list the creation of release branches during the release management process.
We need to re-evaluate the appropriateness of the release procedure to reflect improvements and advances within Git release management.
I came across this tutorial http://www.radcortez.com/maven-git-release/
It mentions the JGit-Flow Plugin.
We should evaluate it for improving the release procedure for 0.6 release.
