[0/5] SubmittingPatches: clarify which branch to use

Message

This series rewords the "base-branch" section to be more informative in
general to new contributors. The main motivation was to remove the phrase
"In general, always base your work on the oldest branch that your change is
relevant to" because it was somewhat misleading from the rest of the text.
Other smaller cleanups and improvements were made along the way.

Linus Arver (5):
  SubmittingPatches: reword awkward phrasing
  SubmittingPatches: be more explicit
  SubmittingPatches: discuss subsystems separately from git.git
  SubmittingPatches: remove confusing guidance about base branches
  SubmittingPatches: define topic branches
