> The release guide contains a dedicated section to [Create a release branch|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Createareleasebranch].
> Yet, the first step in the [Build a release candidate|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Creating+a+Flink+Release#CreatingaFlinkRelease-Buildareleasecandidate] is to create another release branch.
> {code}
> Now, create a release branch:
> $ cd tools
> tools $ OLD_VERSION=$CURRENT_SNAPSHOT_VERSION NEW_VERSION=$RELEASE_VERSION RELEASE_CANDIDATE=$RC_NUM releasing/create_release_branch.sh
> {code}
> We should use different terms, as the first is about _snapshot_-release-branches (like release-1.5), the latter about the branches actually used for a specific release (like release-1.5.0-rc1).
