I thought that was clear from previous messages, but I'll mention what 
my understanding is... "branches/release" is for 1.36.0 *only*. There 
needs to be another branch for 1.35.1 (perhaps 
"branches/release_1_35_1") which I would guess the manager for the 
1.35.1 release would take care of by branching from 
"tags/release/Boost_1_35_0". As for the starting point for 1.36, it's 
always been the rolling "branches/release" i.e. 1.35.x, which is now the 
1.36.x branch :-) It also means that patches that go into the 1.35.1 
branch would also likely need to go into the 1.36.x branch.
