I just looked, and I take the idea back. It means updating NEWS, DOC
and testsuite twice - just after the branch (to start the new interface)
and just before a branch (to freeze the new interface).

I think its going to be easier to get it all done once just after the
branch. If someone reports a bug against a YYYYMMDD version of GDB then
it's pretty clear that they are not using a released GDB.
