[lldb-dev] [llvm-dev] [4.0.0 Release] The branch is here, the release process starts

[Hans Wennborg via lldb-dev]

Oh wait, the branch on the git mirror doesn't look right!

Anton, can you take a look? The first commit on the branch for llvm is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r291843 | hans | 2017-01-12 14:12:41 -0800 (Thu, 12 Jan 2017) | 1 line

Drop 'svn' suffix from version.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

It should be similar for cfe and the others.

The current git mirror branch for llvm seems to only have one commit,
and that's one I just made:

$ git log --oneline origin/release_40
817cc1a7301 Merging r291863:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r291863 | chapuni | 2017-01-12 16:17:15 -0800 (Thu, 12 Jan 2017) | 1
line

Note that it doesn't have any parent!
