[ncoghlan]

Spawned from a core-mentorship thread about possibly outdated branch names in dev guide examples.

These are a few places that use real branch names in examples, and need to be kept current to make things easier for new contributors:

http://docs.python.org/devguide/committing.html#multiple-clones-approach
http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#getting-the-source-code
http://docs.python.org/devguide/devcycle.html#summary

Another couple of items:

• one early one (before actually making the release) to check that the latest released version of pip has been bundled into CPython (that's supposed to happen when pip is released, but it's worth double checking)

• there's a missing entry for the RM confirming they have the go ahead from the Mac Expect before proceeding with a release

[ned-deily]

• Along with checking for the latest version of pip, there should be an item to inspect the installed bundled version of pip to check for changes in the licenses of pip and its chain of vendored dependencies to ensure we do not inadvertently taint a Python release.

New changeset 414a7e2067b2 by Éric Araujo in branch 'default':
Update branch names after 3.4.0 release (ref bpo-20890)

These parts of the devguide don't seem to exist anymore, so I'm closing as outdated.
