I started writing a create-a-release-branch script to automate the part
of the procedure documented in
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-branches
Attached, in early draft form:
tools/dist/create-minor-release-branch.py
[...]
Suggestions invited.
This script is now committed at
tools/dist/create-minor-release-branch.py
When it runs 'svn checkout' it adds '-r {2017-12-01}', in order to test
how it would have worked to create the 1.10 release branch. It uses a
date there rather than a revision number because multiple repositories
are involved.
When it wants to runs 'svn commit' and server-side 'svn copy', currently
it just prints these commands and does not run them.
Both of these facilities for testing are currently hard-coded. It needs
a way to enable/disable test mode from the command line.
