The master branch tracks our current work and should be compatible with both
-Origin master branch and the current Origin stable release, currently that's
-v1.3 and v1.2. Enterprise branches exist where we coordinate with internal Red
-Hat Quality Assurance teams. Fixes and backwards compatible feature improvements
-are often backported to the more current enterprise branches. The enterprise
-branches should also be compatible with the corresponding Origin release for

+Origin master branch and the most recent Origin stable release. Currently that's
+v1.3 and v1.2.x. In addition to the master branch we maintain stable branches
+corresponding to upstream Origin releases, ie: release-1.2. The most recent of
+branch will often receive minor feature backports and fixes. Older branches will
+receive only critical fixes.

+Releases are tagged periodically from active branches and are versioned 3.x
+corresponding to Origin releases 1.x. We unfortunately started with 3.0 and it's
+not practical to start over at 1.0.
