[ovs-discuss] patch does not work

[Ben Pfaff]

OK, that naming is a side effect of how we've done releases, with tags
on branches instead of on master.  It doesn't indicate that you're
downloading version 1.1.  The final part of the name indicates the Git
commit number (ec97c2d), which you can use to verify what commit you're
getting.
