Creating Back-Branch Release Notes
==================================
* Run src/tools/git_changelog to generate a list of relevant commits
* Run src/tools/git_changelog to generate a list of relevant commits.
You can also run 'git log' in each branch. Be sure to use the --since
branch tag and not the release date, as commits could have been done
between branch stamping and the release date.
* On the git master branch, edit and create SGML markup for the most recent
branch in that branch's release-N.N.sgml file
* Copy this into older branches' release-N.N.sgml files, then remove
items that do not apply based on commit logs for that branch (and add
any that are needed)
items that do not apply based on commit logs for that branch.
* Add any older branch commits not in the newest branch. This can be
accomplished by diff'ing the newest and older branch commit logs and
looking for lines that only appear in the older branch, e.g.:
diff commit-N.N.log commit-O.O.log | grep '^>'
* Copy the appropriate release-N.N.sgml files into each back branch SGML
directory.
* Copy the appropriate release-N.N.sgml files into each back branch
