NAME Git::ReleaseRepo - Manage a release repository of Git submodules VERSION version 0.002 DESCRIPTION This application manages a Git repository for releases. It also follows the "Semantic Versioning" specification. SUBMODULES BRANCHES AND TAGS Branches are for major and minor releases. Tags are for bugfix releases. v1.0 - Branch for the 1.0 release cycle v1.0.0 - Tag for the first release in the 1.0 release cycle v1.0.1 - Tag for a bugfix release v1.1 - Branch for the 1.1 release cycle v1.1.0 - Tag for the first release in the 1.1 release cycle The tip of the release branch will always be the latest code for that release, even if it is not yet part of a bugfix release. Branches will only ever be m/^${PREFIX}\d+[.]\d+/. SEMANTIC VERSIONING See also: http://semver.org/ MAJOR/MINOR VERSIONS New major and minor versions are created from HEAD. When a new major/minor release is created, a new branch is created to allow for bugfix versions. The same branches are created in submodules to allow for bugfix commits. BUGFIX VERSIONS New bugfix versions are created from the release branch. AUTHOR Doug Bell COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2013 by Doug Bell.
