Re: [patch] distinguish release and patch branch

If you want to patch your system (with patches provided on errata??.html),
you want release source.  As stated on stable.html, a patch branch
already contains these patches.

This should be changed to OPENBSD_3_7_BASE instead of textual change.
Or, to be more precious:  This should be changed to OPENBSD_4_2_BASE.

Another possibility would be to adjust the passage to conform to
anoncvs.html.
