 Sounds reasonable.  In the past, I based geoip updates on maint-0.2.2,
 they got merged and forward-ported to newer version branches, and whenever
 enough changes piled up, a release was made containing the most recent
 database.

 > Agreed on updating only the geoip file - the changelog can document how
 we create it.

 Okay.  Please review my branch
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/tor.git/shortlog/refs/heads/task-7692
 task-7692] which is based on maint-0.2.2.  That branch has 35d09dd and
 c718921 cherry-picked and has another commit 6bdfa29 adding a more useful
 link with explanations how the geoip file was created; referring to the
 README.geoip file that's only contained in the master branch doesn't make
 much sense in the maint-* branches.
