Or that it would be a set of links to each of the individual text files= =20 (see the ifdef::stalenotes[] in git/Documentation/git.txt)? The latter allows individual release notes to be checked, but still=20 leaves folks with a difficult search problem if they want to find when=20 some command was 'tweaked'. Obviously, any method would need to be easy to maintain. And the=20 RelNotes symlink would need handling. Philip --
