push to Bioconductor RELEASE_3_17

[serachoi1230]

Hi @bschilder and @Al-Murphy,

I've tried to push to RELEASE_3_17, but get the error:

fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/RELEASE_3_17

Is this because the RELEASE_3_17 branch hasn't been created in Bioconductor?

[Al-Murphy]

Yeah exactly! So 3.17 hasn't been released yet, it is the dev branch which corresponds to the master branch. You just do git push upstream master make sure to increment the minor version (Z in X.Y.Z) in your description file or it will have no effect

@serachoi1230 for reference, Bioc will soon (March 8th) rename their upstream master branch to devel.
