Branches are releases nightmares if they are all have the same versions,
like all are 1.4.x but only one branch supports 7.

I have asked that some time ago already and pointed out that we should
really support semver and one branch per extension version, not per
supported php version.

It is not necessary required, you an email multiple files. Single branche
also helps to ensure APIs compatibility across php versions  (same codename
being maintained).
