Hmm ... I understand.  But remember: people would almost always be
committing their changes/additions to the HEAD branch.  It's only when a new
version of PHP is released that someone would need to start a new branch and
make sure things are copasetic between the docs and the source (not a fun
job, to be sure).

Agreed. :)
