Ok. After carefully studying everything I feel like I got things
straight. (All sigh :) Really my proposal was also right, but kind of
less convinient. I was going to create new branches for each release I
did (including patch levels). Your proposal with release branch
eliminates this, since patch level shall correspond with 'patch-1',
'patch-2' etc.

Ok. Thanks for your help.
