+ Note you are still on the master branch at this point. Mark the
+ current revision as the branchpoint for the new release branch:
+
+ % git tag -a -m "This tag marks the point where we started the branch for 1.5" 1.5-branchpoint
+
+ Now mark the master branch with a post-release version number (the
+ convention here is to use VERSION+dev as the version number).
