Integration tree follows a monthly release cycle

Sync Tree Release model based on Moving Code base



Phase I: Developers are submitting patches to various mailing lists/Gerrit etc

Phase II: 3 Days before the Code freeze, we take the Snapshot of Moving code base, Freeze it and merge patches from Phase I (which are not in code base yet)

Sources of these patches are the patches in submitted-but-not-accepted state

Sometimes patches/features in development required for a Monthly release

Phase III: Subject the sync tree to Unit testing and fix any issues found in a week.

Finally proceed to give the Sync tree for handoff.
