Difference between branches master and vNext
The default branch on GitHub is currently set to vNext if I'm not mistaken.
Is there a difference between master and vNext? Is master obsolete, vNext a work-in-progress and still to be validated, ...?
After a brief review of histories, they seem legit but different. Should vNext be merged into master?
Can a working group member or contributor comment on how to best understand the branches?
According to what I found out contributing in this repo, the vNext branch is a development branch from master, I guess it is used as master, and all the new branches are called topic branches which are ramifications of vNext. This link might be helpful to understand this issue https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branching-Workflows#Topic-Branches
I understand what's described about topic branches.
However, I fail to see how it explains that the master branch hasn't been updated since 28 Mar 2017.
I would expect approved changes to be merged to master.
+1 I'm new to this repo and am not sure whether to reference vNext or master.
