RELEASING.md: Update to tag start of a release's development
At the last cppTango meeting (25/01/2024) we had a discussion about how the TANGO_GIT_REVISION
is determined. Currently, git describe
on the main branch does not find any of the 9.5.0
tags because we had to resolve merge conflicts when we merged the release/9.5.0
branch back into main
. This means that none of the 9.5.0
tags are in the history of main
.
In the meeting we decided that we can resolve this by tagging the main branch at the start of the a release cycle with a dev
tag (e.g. 10.0.0-dev
for the 10.0.0 release).
This MR updates the RELEASING.md
to document that process.
