Description

What content needs to be created or modified?

The Git branch strategy for docs is different than most projects (i.e., we use release branches as the main branches and edge as prerelease. We should provide a "Branch Guidance" docs page to clear up any confusion about this.

Describe the solution you'd like

A page similar to https://docs.dapr.io/contributing/docs-contrib/contributing-docs/#branch-guidance which outlines how we handle branching for docs and samples.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Dapr branch-guidance page and the existing documentation structure for docs and samples. Create a comparable "Branch Guidance" page explaining that release branches are the main branches and edge is prerelease; the work is done when the guidance is available for contributors to both repositories.
