I think we should also plan to discuss the branching strategy for
mozilla-central at this meeting; shouldn't take very long, just want
to finalize plans for:

- checkin rules for mozilla-central once it re-opens after tagging
for beta 2
- dates for merging mozilla-central over to mozilla-1.9.1
- actual branching date where we switch over to mozilla-1.9.1

For consideration, there's a logjam of patches for blocking bugs
waiting to go in after beta 2; David Baron and others have suggested
that we continue to use mozilla-central until EOD Thursday, at which
point we'd remerge mozilla-central to mozilla-1.9.1 and make the
switch. This would prevent the need for a large set of double landings
for those blockers. The proposal I'd like to work with is:

- after tagging for beta 2, mozilla-central will be open only to
blocking-firefox3.1, blocking1.9.1, and approval1.9.1
- merge to mozilla-1.9.1 repo EOD Thursday
- after merge, the mozilla-1.9.1 repo will be open only to blocking-
firefox3.1, blocking1.9.1, and approval1.9.1; mozilla-central will be
back to usual tree rules of requiring review only

Concerns:

- how can we make sure to watch performance on mozilla-central post-
merge
- is tue-thu enough time for the logjam to get through

cheers,
mike
