I don't think dev-ref is the place to document the Git repositories in use
by the release team, http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam would be
much more suited.

Please use the web URL (http://&ftp-master-host;/testing/update_out/),
it's much more stable & convenient than this path on a Debian machine.

Please drop this link. It's really of no use to point people to
britney's code (note it's not the web version of the above link...).
