 Due to the fact that we support only the production and the development versions,
 for now only 2 branchs are present: *master*, and *devel*. 
 
-* *master* is the stable branch. Production tags are created starting from this branch.
-* *devel* is the development branch. Tags created starting from this branch are subject to a certification process.
-
-The following diagram highlights the interactions between the branches and the merging and tagging strategy:

-
-For now, actually there are no tags created yet, so we've always used the HEAD of the branches.

-Repositories
-============
-
-Developers should have 2 remote repositories (which is the typical GitHub workflow):
-
-* *origin* : cloned from your private fork done on GitHub
-* *upstream* : add it via git remote add upstream and pointing to the blessed repository: git@github.com:DIRACGrid/Pilot.git (or https://github.com/DIRACGrid/Pilot.git using https protocol)
+* *master* is the stable branch.
+* *devel* is the development branch.
