 Notes to myself on all the steps to make for a Ninja release.
 
-1. git checkout release; git merge master
-2. fix version number in source (it will likely conflict in the above)
-3. fix version in doc/manual.asciidoc
-4. rebuild manual, put in place on website
-5. commit, tag, push
-6. construct release notes from prior notes
+Push new release branch:
+1. Consider sending a heads-up to the ninja-build mailing list first
+2. update src/version.cc with new version (with ".git"), then
+       git commit -a -m 'mark this 1.5.0.git'
+3. git checkout release; git merge master
+4. fix version number in src/version.cc (it will likely conflict in the above)
+5. fix version in doc/manual.asciidoc
+6. commit, tag, push (don't forget to push --tags)
+       git commit -a -m v1.5.0; git push origin release
+       git tag v1.5.0; git push --tags
+       # Push the 1.5.0.git change on master too:
+       git checkout master; git push origin master
+7. construct release notes from prior notes
