Hi all,

there have been created the libreoffice-3-6-2 branch. It will be used
for fine tuning of the 3.6.2 release.

!!!IMPORTANT:!!!

  We are trying the "two-weeks-between-rcs" approach, so there
  is longer time before rc2. I suggest to keep the number of changes
  on minimum. RC2 should include only very safe fixes, so we could
  release it just with a smoketest. Otherwise, we would not be able
  to release a bugfix release every 4 weeks.

Anyway, the following rules apply:

        + preferably just translation or blocker fixes
	+ only cherry-picking from libreoffice-3-6 branch
	+ 2 additional reviews needed; 2nd reviewer pushes
	+ no regular merges back to anything

The 'libreoffice-3-6' branch is still active and will be used for the
3.6.3 bugfix release. Please read more at

       http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan
       http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Branches


Now, if you want to switch your clone to the branch, please do:

./g pull -r
./g checkout -b libreoffice-3-6-2 origin/libreoffice-3-6-2

Hopefully it will work for you :-)  Most probably, you will also want to
do (if you haven't done it yet):

git config --global push.default tracking

When you do git push with this, git will push only the branch you are
on; e.g. libreoffice-3-6-2 when you have switched to it.  This will
save you some git shouting at you.


Happy hacking,
Petr
