+## Branches
+
+**There are two branches related to editing docs**: ``master`` and a
+``doc*`` branch (currently ``doc0.8.1``). You should normally edit
+docs on the ``master`` branch. That way your fixes will automatically
+get included in later releases, and docs maintainers can easily
+cherry-pick your changes to bring over to the current docs branch. In
+the rare case where your change is not forward-compatible, then you
+could base your change on the appropriate ``doc*`` branch.
+
+Now that we have a ``doc*`` branch, we can keep the ``latest`` docs
+up to date with any bugs found between ``docker`` code releases.
