* Create a branch in git for maintenance of the previous release

o on master branch, do:

git pull # be sure you have the latest "master"

git push origin master:refs/heads/"new-branch-name"

git branch "new-branch-name"

git push -u origin "new-branch-name"

for example,

git push origin master:refs/heads/REL_10_STABLE

git branch REL_11_STABLE

git push -u origin REL_11_STABLE

* Add new branch's name to list in src/tools/git_changelog

* Increment the major version number in src/tools/version_stamp.pl

* Run "src/tools/version_stamp.pl devel", then run autoconf

* Get the buildfarm's 'branches_of_interest.txt' file updated with the new

branch.
