We have done them very occasionally, and I guess if there was a pressing 
need to get msvc-2013 patches out then that would be a reason to do an early 
patches-only release.  I'm not sure how much that would speed things up 
though, there's still a lot of figuring out to do before any release can be 
produced.  If anything the big reorganization for Git requires a slower than 
usual release procedure.
