The great thing about release branches is that you can fix a bug in an older release, without having to create a new release from the trunk of your project. It's great because the trunk may contain new features that may not be backwards compatible, or the trunk may currently be unstable.
To fix a bug that exists in a specific release, you would have to manually do the following:
Step five is very important. It ensures that the bug fix makes its way to the trunk, and therefore the next release.
SVA automates this process. It relies on the fact that you assign unique bug identifiers to each bug using a bug tracking system. The example below helps fix a bug with the ID of 5 on the latest release branch:
$ sva bug 5 $ # ... fix and commit ... $ sva bug --close 5
