As Patrick said, yes. New code, meaning a new feature I'm assuming, can 
only be committed to the master branch. A critical fix *can* be 
backported to a previously branched release, but it is very rare. It 
must be a serious issue.

If instead you are trying to add a feature to a older release in some 
way to support a product, that is handled differently - you are 
encouraged to figure out how to make it work in the master branch, 
failing that (and only as a last resort) you will need to fork a product 
support branch for your product. Often this is done behind a company 
firewall in order for a company to add "special" features that 
differentiate their platform to a particular customer.

More info on why you need to do what you are asking may help the 
community get you the info you need.
