Yes, this was okay.
Radim: I told Roger to commit this as the code was broken anyway.
Thus I'm the one to critise here, because Roger asked first.
I still think it was correct, as it was the only chance for Roger to
help us. He just should have committed the same fix to HEAD.

Yes, you are right.

Making sure that each change is made in the release branch
and in HEAD, is like merging each change in a way.

We need the release branch, because HEAD is more advanced.
So the fix for the Release branch might not be the same for the HEAD branch.
You can work on other bugs and smaller enhancement on HEAD.
