Commits of interest for current behavior:

http://itk.org/gitweb?p=ITK.git;a=commitdiff;h=a6b9a6d8
http://itk.org/gitweb?p=ITK.git;a=commitdiff;h=03287381

Certainly this message can be changed to an error that provides instructions.
I'll post a change to Gerrit for review.

Follow the normal topic development instructions, but at this step:

  http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/Git/Develop#Create_a_Topic

note this advice:

  "If you are fixing a bug in the latest release then substitute
   origin/release for origin/master."

If you have trouble merging the topic please post again.  Otherwise
send email to me after you've merged the topic to master (gerrit-merge)
and I'll update the release branch to point at the fix.
