[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/3] process docs: Add some detail about changes during branching

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Split out the required work for the new and old branches and be more
specific about what is to be done.  In the RT checklist, reformat and
expand the "turn off debug" instructions.
