Changing the CHANGES file

From: <pll_at_lanminds.com>

Hi,

I've received some feedback from the announcement of the 0.26
release, which is tied to the format of the CHANGES file.
Specifically, the concern is with the first line
which mentions "branches/release-0.26.0".

The confusion was over the fact that 'branches/release-0.26.0' really
looks like a named branch point, yet, once a release is made, this is
moved to a tag, which isn't mentioned anywhere. As a result, we're
advertising something which technically doesn't exist, and that which
does exist is getting no mention at all.

As more people come to Subversion, more people (such as those
exclusively on the users@ list) will be tracking the project by the
announcements made to the lists, and the news posted on the website,
both of which include the latest portion of the CHANGES file and
mention this now non-existent release branch.

It seems to me that we might rather mention the tag area, since
that's what will exist once a release is finallized. Does this make
sense?

Any strong opinions either way?

Thanks,
