[cle-release-team] Missed the Call Last Thursday

[Mike Jennings]

I am going to have to backport this anyways, because UNC just finished 
there upgrade to 2.8.1 and it will be at least a year until we will be 
able to perform a upgrade to 2.9.

I like the idea of branching/tagging the dav work as dav-2.8.3-tc7.  It 
seems like the easiest way for users to manage this work in a consistent 
manner.
