+== Create a new release branch ==
+{{{
+svn copy svn+ssh://svn.clozure.com/usr/local/publicsvn/openmcl/trunk \
+         svn+ssh://svn.clozure.com/usr/local/publicsvn/openmcl/release/1.5
+}}}
+
+== Getting a release branch working copy ==
+When making a new release, it can be convenient to have the whole source tree available.
+I do this with:
+{{{
+svn co --ignore-externals svn+ssh://svn.clozure.com/usr/local/publicsvn/openmcl/release/1.5 ccl-1.5-all
+}}}
+This way, I don't end up with useless copies of the sources under the platform-specific directories.
+
+== Fixing externals ==
+
+I generally think it's preferable for release branches to be self-contained.
+This script changes the externals to point to the release branch instead of the trunk.
+Run it while in the top-level directory of the working copy.
