Hi Julien.
1/ "You may proceed to check the content into the Eclipse repository." is not clear enough, apparently. I'll work with the IP Team to improve this.
The short version is yes. When the IP Team says that you have "checkin" with this message, you can merge/push the content into a project repository and work with it. There are no restrictions with regard to branches.
The restriction is that a project must wait for project code content to be fully approved before it can be included in a release. You can do releases, they just can't include this content.
2/ IP log is scoped to the project, not any particular branch, release, component, ... Think of the IP Log as an IP review checkpoint. When you submit that, we review it to make sure that the project team is properly tracking intellectual property and hasn't missed something important. FWIW, I run builds and match dependency lists from those builds against the IP Log.
It is completely valid for a project to have a CQ listed as "pending" on an IP Log when they do a release review. The content for pending (not yet approved) CQs must not, however, be included in the release.
Note that we changed the EDP in 2018 to permit a project to engage in as as many releases as necessary for an entire year following a successful release review. Every release, however, must conform to the IP Policy; specifically, the releases (whether or not we do a review specifically for that release) must only contain intellectual property that has been taken through the IP Due Diligence process (this means that any related CQs must be approved before you can release).
HTH,
Wayne
