Ok will do.

Hmmm... The existing gitworkflows man page discusses the 'next' branch
several times. I am simply expanding the document to cover the branch
management associated with the git.git release process as well, which
necessarily includes a discussion of 'next'.

If you wish to remove discussion of 'next' from this document, that is
probably better done in a separate followup change. Though personally
I think its a useful concept for readers to learn about as they are
setting up their own workflows.

I'll add some discussion about the branch -f bit -- I hope you agree
that in this document that is distributed with git, some
beginner-level explanation of the difference between the branch -f and
the merge approach is warranted?

Cheers,
Raman
