This is exactly why I brought it up last time.  There is obviously  
something wrong when the people that are supposed to know better are  
making mistakes?  It is just confusing to have the branch there....  
it is not a branch just a temp place we worked wile packaging the  
release.

I suggest next time we are creating a milestone, preview or tag only  
(unsupported) release, we don't create the temp branch in branches.

+1 to remove the confusing, non-supported, temporary branch we  
created for 1.0-M5 packaging.
