Hi Sergey,

I am no expert by my understanding has always been that a tag is meant to
refer to a commit. And that a branch is somehow different from this and is
more like a line of commits. Is it possible to make test-builds of  2.70(a)
as it is no envisioned or does it only exist in the form of the wiki page
that holds a list of candidates to be back-ported ?
It might be a semantic discussion but I would like to just be able to
checkout 2.70 + all fixes and make a test build of it. And in the future
maybe even do back-porting of fixes even if mainline has moved on.

thx for your patience in explaining all this.

Martijn
