Add a new version of Magento to a repository compatible with https://github.com/AydinHassan/magento-core-composer-installer

add-magento-version.php

<?php

/**
 * Script to manage to version of Magento in a git mirror
 * php $argv[0] core-repository new-version-of-magento
 * 
 * It will look for Mage.php in new-version-of-magento and parse the version
 * and edition from it.
 * 
 * It will copy the code, remove the old files, create new branches if necessary
 * and tag the release.
 * 
 * Branches are major.minor
 * 
 * so 1.9.0.0, 1.9.0.1, 1.9.10 all go in the 1.9 branch
 * 1.10.0.0 would cause a new 1.10 branch to be created.
 * 
 * 1.10 will be branched of 1.9 so you can diff them easily

This confused me
