> There is a README.txt file that is checked in to the top-level of trunk, 
> releases, and branches. It is distributed with each source package. To 
> provide release notes that become available after the release is built, I 
> suggest adding the line "View the latest version of this file online.", with 
> a link to the online version (which of course will have this self-referential 
> line). 
> Each branch has its own version of README.txt. When a maintenance  release 
> (e.g. 2.1) needs to be updated, we add a new bug fix branch (e.g. 2.1.1). We 
> don't create a release from this branch, but tell users to check it out of 
> svn. When we provide a bug fix release to a maintenance release we need to 
> update README.txt in the parent branch, adding the following line: "This 
> release has been deprecated. Please use version 2.x.y.", with a link to the 
> svn web interface for that version.
