I've added this to a couple of my branches.

You can see it in action with

    git show origin/archer-tromey-python-checker:README.archer

I'd like everyone to add a file like this to their live branches.  Don't
bother with the dead branches, I'm going to zap them all soon.  It is
fine with me if you want to wait for the great branch renaming before
doing this.
