 We cleaned up some issues related to update channel and re-based our
 browser and builder patches.

 browser.git (most recent two commits):

 browser.git/shortlog/refs/heads/bug4234-05

 browser.git/commit/616b4446a586de5d5ba487ed813f78dc54ca1af7
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/43c5ec54ce50cd08ccc27b02ef2b3ebbef9a02aa

 The builder patch is on the bug4234-02 branch within user/brade/tor-
 browser-bundle.git (just one commit):

 bundle.git/shortlog/refs/heads/bug4234-02

 bundle.git/commit/14217b6331775dedb8e4ddcdc1b23a6996e0907c

 Mike and/or gk:  please review these changes and merge them into the main
 tor-browser and tor-browser-bundle repos.

 Note that we used a base URL of
 https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/update/ for app.update.url;
 that may need to be changed later.
