It looks like it was "master" until 4de97462d34f when it was updated to
"qemu-xen-4.3.0-rc1" (presumably in anticipation of branching or
releasing the rc) then it was turned into a sha at 1fee00908ae9 -- which
I think was likely to have been in error.

I agree that at least during the development phases it should be
"master".

It should probably be a tag for a release, including rcs, so that they
refer to a single consistent thing.

Given our policy of branching in the later rcs I'm not sure how we can
deal with this other than as we attempted last time by committing
something other than "master" to xen.git:Config.mk and remembering what
to do to put it back later afterwards. (or by revisiting the branching
policy, but I don't think this issue is reason enough to change).

Ian.
