master branch

• master branch is for updates targeting run 3
• Improvements and fixes relevant to run 1+2 analysis or reconstruction can be back ported to run2-patches branch on demand
• Next release, featuring LCG_97 and ROOT 6.20 or LCG_98 and ROOT 6.22 not currently planned, can be done on demand

run2-patches branch for runs 1+2 analysis (branch created in spring 2018 after freezing of 2018-patches)

• Any new developments for run 1 and run 2 analysis and/or reprocessing should target this branch
