I just use SVN for release branches. For release notes it's
particularly easy since you only need to check out the docs/
directory:

$ svn co https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/branches/release_90/docs/
release_90_llvm_docs
$ cd release_90_llvm_docs
(edit ReleaseNotes.rst)
$ svn commit

If that doesn't work, I'm always happy to land patches for anyone on the
branch.

Thanks,
Hans
