I disagree with the change, in particular I disagree about creating any
kind of versioned branch. It suggests there was a release and thats
wrong.

IMHO there should be only a master branch for git and that should
correspond to the kdevelop master branch, for the plain fact that the
git plugin is nothing an ordinary user should be using. Its unstable and
incomplete and may eat children alive.
