Subject: [PATCH] Make a create-stable-branch script. Easy.

Makes me wonder why all git repos don't just start with this empty directory
commit instead of the having people do the "you can't clone empty repositories
so make a dummy crap" dance.

Oh, well, I suppose it does encode my timestamp/user info/etc. Which probably
shouldn't be in every new repo git ever created. Okay, fair enough.
