[FYI] {master} hacking: fixlets w.r.t. the release procedure


From: Stefano Lattarini
Subject: [FYI] {master} hacking: fixlets w.r.t. the release procedure
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:22:32 +0200

* HACKING  (Release procedure): Do not state that the result of
"make fetch" is woefully incomplete: this is not true anymore today.
Suggest to re-run the testsuite after a "make fetch", in case any
file has been updated.
