Branching a meta layer according to Yocto branches

I have a personalized Yocto layer that is a git repository which presently only has master branch on it.

The development is based on the krogoth branch for Yocto.

Within the layer are many recipes which are backported from master or higher branches.

I am now upgrading from krogoth to rocko and wish to branch out on the meta layer where I wish to avoid overlapping backported recipes during new image builds.

Is there a workflow or tips in how to maintain a Yocto meta layer for different releases like rocko, morty etc. or should I remain on the master branch and continue development?

A route we've occasionally adopted is to maintain a meta-our-thing-backports extra layer to go with our primary meta-our-thing. In it we would have various recipes, appends, alternate patches, etc. I cannot speak for how sustainable that model is, however, depending on how many versions you have to track.
