Comment (by mikeperry):

 Nice work guys. Some comments:

 First, is there a reason why we can't have the 'Docs' subdir in the bundle
 at the top-level for all three platforms? I realize this is my oversight
 for not asking this sooner. If there is no problem with doing this, I can
 clean up the branch myself.

 Second, in addition to the maint-3.6 tor-browser-bundle.git branch, it
 seems like we should create a new maint-0.2.5 branch for tor-launcher.git
 now, and start calling these new restructured tor launchers 0.2.6?
 Similarly, we probably want to make a separate tor-browser.git branch for
 the #9173 update, and probably the remoting stuff too. I can also do this,
 I am just stating it in case you have any alternate suggestions.

 Third, for the tor-browser-bundle.git cleanups, I think we should be using
 the versions.nightly file for these changes, at least to start. Then we
 can think about building a 4.0-alpha (which will also have the updater in
 it, eventually) if the nightlies check out OK.

 As far as merge timeline, I think we should shoot for merging this into
 'master' and doing all the branch restructuring after we are satisfied
 with #8402's behavior in the nightlies, and begin tagging that stuff for
 3.6.2 (hopefully mid next week).
