Oh nice. Well I hope that addresses at least that headerbar issue.

We already do this! Individual releases are tagged as e.g., `3.20.1`,
and the stable release series is on a branch named e.g., `meld-3-20`.
Is this enough for your purposes?

Currently I don't do this for unstable series; since there's only ever
been one at a time, that's essentially just whatever is in `master`. I
guess if we ever needed unstable 3.21.x and 3.23.x branches at the
same time this could get messy, but it's not something that's ever
come up.

It was a long time ago, but I do remember doing something similar for
the original Windows build. It's not a fun process, I'm sorry!
