The whole point of creating a branch for the "V" release is so you can check
in code on the trunk for your V+1 release without messing up your "V"
release. If you're going to implement a code freeze anyway, then don't
bother with creating a "V" branch.

Creating a "V" branch allows you to put a code freeze in place for Release
"V", but allows you to continue your work on "V+1". Branch on the code
freeze and do your releases off the branch.

By the way, if a customer finds a bug in Release "V", and you need to create
a Release V.1, there's no need to create another branch for the V.1 patch
release. You're not holding up any development by not having a branch.
