[Photon] status java vs. phyton and which branch?

Ok, didn't notice this as I use the opposite strategy: doing development
on a dev branch (in my case master but should be dev) and branch out
once I'm finished and before releasing. Sometimes I merge other issues
later to this branch too.

one could avoid this problem and the duplication using the query file
which is auto-reloaded every 1sec (in production not that often) or one
could use jetty with hot-deploy or even tools like jrebel.

ah, ok. Good to know - thanks!
