The gitworkflows man page currently provides an overview of the workflows
used by git.git itself to serve as inspiration for people to use when
designing their own workflows. The current man page does a reasonable
job at describing the development process, but it does not contain any
guidance as to the workflow used for releases. Now add a basic
introduction to the branch management required for a release, so that a
reader may understand how the maint, master, next, and topic branches are
affected.

there is a release checklist, maybe you could extend your patch to
include more information from this?

Most of the checklist is specific to the git infrastructure rather
than git branch management. The latter is the focus of the
gitworkflows man page. The relevant items from checklist.txt (e.g.
merge 'maint' to 'master') are already included in the patch.

Cheers,
