8. Update bfd/version.m4 on HEAD to indicate that is now a snapshot
- of the next release. Note if the release is going to be 2.39 then
- the version number on the branch is set to 2.38.90 - ie almost, but
- not quite at 2.39, and the version number on the mainline is set to
- 2.39.50 - ie half way to the next release after 2.39.
+ of the next release and the BRANCH to indicated that it is almost
+ ready for the release.

+ So if the release is going to be 2.40 then the version number on
+ the BRANCH should be set to 2.39.90 - ie almost, but not quite 2.40,
+ and the version number on the MAINLINE should be set to 2.40.50 -
+ ie half way to 2.41 release.
So the branch bfd/version.m4 has:
- m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.38.90])
+ m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.39.90])
and the mainline has:
- m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.39.50])
+ m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.40.50])
