As David pointed out, we need to find version the rsyslog doc, so that each
version gets its accompanying doc (and excatly the right one, as Pavel
said).

I suggest that we follow the scheme that rsyslog uses, which means branches
for

v5-stable
v6-stable
v7-stable
v7-devel (as long as it exists)
master (which is v8-devel)

each release receives a version tag.

I usually update the oldest branch and then merge up into the newer ones
(e.g. fix necessary for v7-stable, do it there, and aplly a number of pull
operations until master is reached). This method has worked out very well
and saves a lot of time.

I think it would be good to have at least v7-stable, v7-devel and master in
the new doc repository. v5 is really dead now (at least in regard to
updates), so I don't think it's worth working on it. Same for v6 - nobody
uses it (and that's what I recommend).

I don't know what the best approach is to import this into the new repo. If
it's easy enough, it probably makes sense to import v7-devel and v7-stable
and see that we get the "merge upwards" thing going (I guess there is some
initial effort). That way, improvements could already be started in
v7-stable. I expect that v7 will be around for quite some while, so we must
work on that. It will probably be more critical to success initially than
master.

I probably should have stated this so clear a day ago, but I admit I had
not anticipated things move so quickly ;) Sorry for that.
