Description
When trybots are testing a CL in a golang.org/x to a release branch with a custom suffix (e.g., release-branch.go1.14-cmd
or release-branch.go1.15-bundle
), they should use the mentioned Go version to test that CL, not tip.
See CL 264058 where Go tip (1.16) was used, despite the release branch having a "go1.15" in it.
This is somewhat related to issues #37512 and #38303. Custom release branches are somewhat unusual (now for #41375, last time for #36851) and hopefully won't come up much in the future.
