Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-11297:
--------------------------------------
Not having the r16 branch in Git complicates things. IMO, backporting to the r16 branch should be similar to the newer branches. It creates consistent procedures, but also lowers the learning curve.

> Currently backport in Git (to R18 and R17) is mostly done by cherry picking. This is hand work. I think we should concentrate on tools necessary to backport with Git. Like the convenient scripts we had previously with Svn.
> And if we want to continuously/seriously backport to R16 we need a such tool too, from Git to Svn, using patches maybe. An alternative is to stop supporting R16 and release R17. Sincerely, I'm actually more inclined to this alternative...
