Branch-Specific File Links
**************************
Links in the documentation to specific files in the GitHub tree should also be
to the branch for that version of the documentation (e.g., links in the v2.5
release of the documentation should be to files in the v2.5 branch). You should
not link to files in the master branch because files in that branch could change
or even be deleted after the release is made.
To make this kind of file linking possible, use a special role that
creates a hyperlink to that file in the current branch. For example, a GitHub
link to the reST file used to create this document can be generated
using ``:acrn_file:`doc/developer-guides/doc_guidelines.rst```, which will
appear as :acrn_file:`doc/developer-guides/doc_guidelines.rst`, a link to
the “blob” file in the GitHub repo as displayed by GitHub. There’s also an
