Once you've got the official release tag (or the build tag that's going to become the official tag), here's what you do:
 
-1: Check out a copy of the version history to verify:
-{code}
-git clone /p/condor/repository/CONDOR_DOC.git
-cd CONDOR_DOC
-git checkout -b V7_0_2-branch origin/V7_0_2-branch
-{endcode}
+1: The version history is in the =doc/= tree in the git reposictory.
 Inside doc, you'll need to edit =version-history/X-Y.history.tex= where =X-Y= matches the release series you're working from (e.g. =7-0=).
 1: Run git log between the last release and the current release from the same series:
 {code}
@@ -24,7 +19,7 @@
 git --no-pager log origin/V7_9_1-branch --not V7_9_0 -- doc/ | grep -o '#[0-9]\+' | sort -u | sed 's/^.//' > doc-tickets
 diff -u doc-tickets all-tickets | grep '^+[0-9]'
 {endcode}
-The script above produces a list of tickets that have been incorporated into the 7.9.1 and that are not in 7.9.0, and that do not have commits under =doc/=  As such, it also includes commits in 7.8.x and also commits that do not require version history.  It is useful as a place to start with the version history preparation.

 1: If you find parts of the diff that should be documented which are missing, make a list of the missing entries and who committed the changes.
 1: A development release will normally have several fixes from the concurrent stable branch, so it should have a version history item that indicates this. Something like "This release contains all bug fixes from HTCondor version 7.6.2." in the 7.7.0 version history.
 1: Once you've gone through the entire diff, email your list of missing entries to condor-team@cs.wisc.edu for public humiliation and so that people know how much they owe to the version history pizza fund (see the {link: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/developers/version-history.html policy/FAQ}). You can either add the missing entries yourself, or get the guilty parties to do it.
