[jboss-as7-dev] Branch question: 7.1-next vs 7.1

[Tom Jenkinson]

Apologies if this has been asked (possibly multiple times) before - 
searching the mailing list archives is as not simple as SBS (though 
would love to be educated otherwise).

Please can someone clarify the difference between the 7.1 and 7.1-next 
branches? Near as I can tell they are identical so I just wondered as to 
their purpose: https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/compare/7.1-next...7.1

Thanks,
Tom
