This series rewords the "base-branch" section to be more informative in general to new contributors. The main motivation was to remove the phrase "In general, always base your work on the oldest branch that your change is relevant to" because it was somewhat misleading from the rest of the text. Other smaller cleanups and improvements were made along the way.
