I've added the tag, insight_7_6-2013-04-10-branchpoint, to the same
insight specific sources mentioned in my earlier email.

Note that this is different than the tag that the rest of GDB used as
a branch point.  The tag for the rest of gdb is
gdb_7_6-2013-03-12-branchpoint.  It may actually have been possible
to use the same date for this set of tags, but in the past that has not
been possible due to the gdbtk sources lagging somewhat behind the
rest of GDB.

I don't know enough about git to comment on which of those three options
is best, but have no objections otherwise.  If you do this, it'll force me to
learn more about git which is probably a good thing!
