Description

With the release of v0.22, we want to streamline the development processes a bit and make them more like the current libgit2 "development rooles". This will help those of us who work on both just a little bit saner, and hopefully also be more in line with what other projects do. This means:

  1. The master branch is where development happens now. It's now the default branch and where new pull requests should be targeted.
  2. Any bugfix releases we'll branch a maint/v0.22 to handle it, based on the appropriate tagged release.
  3. Please make sure that your pull requests update the [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) at the root of the repository.

We'll deal with manually merging any existing PRs that we want to take. Thanks!

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Review the development-process announcement and the root CHANGELOG.md, along with the master and maint/v0.22 branch guidance. Confirm whether the repository still documents these conventions and whether pull requests are expected to update CHANGELOG.md; done means the current process is clearly recorded and consistent.
