Since at least Xen 4.12, the revision for external trees don't contain
the word "unstable". So explicitely list the *_REVISION variables that
need to be updated as part of the branching process.

One advantage of the previous wording was that it helped you know what the
references *weren't* supposed to look like (although it might have been
more helpful to know what the references *were* supposed to look like).
Would it make sense to add a few words about what they're supposed to look
like?

Good point. I will replace the last sentences to:

The variables and there content should be:
  - QEMU_UPSTREAM_REVISION: qemu-xen-X.Y.0
  - QEMU_TRADITIONAL_REVISION: xen-X.Y.0
  - MINIOS_UPSTREAM_REVISION: xen-RELEASE-X.Y.0

Where X.Y is the release version (e.g. 4.17).

Cheers,
