-## Repository information
-
-This repository has two main branches: `master` and `stable`.
-
-The `master` branch is...
-
-* default
-* bleeding edge
-* tested to compile with a pinned (close to HEAD) commit of Nim
-
-The `stable` branch is...
-
-* installed by `koch tools`/`koch nimble`
-* relatively stable
-* should compile with Nim HEAD as well as the latest Nim version
-
-Note: The travis build only tests whether Nimble works with the latest Nim
-version.
-
-A new Nim release (via `koch xz`) will always bundle the `stable` branch.
