One would be a situation where you are not in control of the exact release moment, for example an iOS application that needs to pass App Store validation.

In these cases you can make a production branch that reflects the deployed code. @@ -134,7 +134,7 @@ If the assigned person does not feel comfortable they can close the merge reques In GitLab it is common to protect the long-lived branches (e.g. the master branch) so that normal developers [can't modify these protected branches](http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/permissions/permissions.html).
