Changes destined for release branches must go through master unless the
relevant code has been removed from master or has been completely
rewritten for master.  The committer will add the appropriate tags for
pulling up the commit and its target version (per
http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Committer_resources#RT_headers) if they
are not already present.
