r18015 - gnucash/branches - Create 2.4 branch

[Phil Longstaff]

Yes, I guess it was premature.  I wasn't sure of the procedure.

Err... this 2.4 branch is copied from trunk r18014, but you've already done 
further work on trunk which most probably should also be applied to any 2.4 
branch there will be. Does this mean the 2.4 creation was prematurely? This 
is fine and it's okay to delete it for now and re-create (copy) later. Or did 
I miss some specific planning which was the reason to decide that trunk 
r18014 was a particularly good code state to start a 2.4 branch?

IMHO if we indeed plan for a 2.4 release cycle in the near future, the 
branching from trunk to 2.4-branch will occur very shortly before the first 
release candidate (maybe numbered 2.3.x) will be released, but not earlier 
than that. To my knowledge, there isn't such an experimental 2.3.0 release 
planned in the near future, or is there? 

I'm asking because once there is indeed a 2.4 branch, I will have to take care 
to copy over all 2.2 (stable branch) translations on the new 2.4 stable 
branch. The trunk translations are (intentionally) much much older than the 
2.2 translations, so starting a new stable branch will trigger some noticable 
overhead work on the translation side which needs to be done. It's fine with 
me to do this, but I need some clear communication about what is going to 
happen with the 2.4 branch.

Regards,

Christian
