From 761e742d69296393804e9a942263e86ece369257 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2010 20:29:57 -0400 Subject: Documentation: move RelNotes into a directory of their own There are 108 of them already. That's a bit more than one third of all the files in the Documentation directory already, and still growing.
