DadoFlow Patching an Old Version

To patch an old version, first create a new version branch from the existing version tag:

      NewVersionBranch 'x.y.z'

Version x.y.z. must already exist. The patched version will be x.y.z+1, and must not already exist. Do whatever work necessary to implement the change, and commit the changes:

      Commit ''

(Note that these changes will NOT be merged into the master.)

Then run ReleaseOldPatch

      ReleaseOldPatch ''

This function will:

1. Squash all new commits on the branch
2. Build the package, application, and any other release artifacts
3. Tag the commit
4. Merge into the master using the merge strategy "ours" (-s ours)
5. Delete the branch
6. Push to GitHub

The merge strategy employed here places the tagged version commit on the master, and then a new merge commit that completely ignores the tagged version.
