+<h3>Git Branches Recombined</h3>
+
+<p>The four separate Git branches <tt>core/master</tt>, <tt>libcom/master</tt>,
+<tt>ca/master</tt> and <tt>database/master</tt> have been recombined into one
+branch called <tt>7.0</tt>. Keeping these as 4 separate branches in the same
+repository made it impossible to create merge requests that contained changes in
+more than one of these modules. The layout of the source files has not changed
+at all however, so the source code for libcom, ca and the database are still
+found separately under the module subdirectory.</p>
