If we have to support version 3.x and 4.y of a code base, then we create
a 'release-3' branch at feature freeze time and keep it after release,
so 3.1, 3.2 etc. are created from the tip of 'release-3' where we
cherry-pick (mostly bugfix) changes from master.

In the meantime, development of version 4 continues in master and when
we freeze the features for that version, we create a 'release-4' branch
which is then curated until 4.1 can be released.

This is a quite transparent model which most developers understand
immediately.
