Should not the branches be independent, once created?

configure.in was not changed on the release22-branch.  Take a look at
Include/patchlevel.h.  It doesn't look as messed up as
Doc/tut/tut.tex, but something is definately wrong here as well.

I'm not quite sure how things were handled with the -maint and -mac
branches; I wonder if a branch tag was used somewhere a normal tag
could have been used.  I don't see it, though.
