Describe the Task
As discussed via Slack and during METplus project meetings, update the instructions in METplus Release Guide to create the main_vX.Y branches prior to the first release candidate rather than waiting for the official release. This change frees up the develop branch to accept new changes for future releases rather than needing to keep it locked down until the official release date.
The downside is that changes between RC1 and the final official release will need to be made to both the main_vX.Y branch and the develop branch.
