* kernel-dev: Created super section for Branches.Scott Rifenbark2013-01-161-103/+115
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The sections for "Machine Branches" and "Feature Branches" really should be encapsulated within a section on branching. Much of the text in the "Machine Branches" section presents the rationale behind both types of branches. I have created a larger section to contain these and will edit the text to fit.

* kernel-dev: Removed recursive include statement from examples.Scott Rifenbark2013-01-161-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Three instances of *.scc files were recursively including themselves. These .scc files needed to have their names changed to a file that indicated hardware support only.
