[MapServer-dev] Basemaps update

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Yves,

Good point, we can at least agree on standard branch naming.  I like 
your way of "mapserver-version", so "mapserver-8", "mapserver-7.6" etc.

(I was referring to the fact that we likely shouldn't rename existing 
branches, such as the existing "branch-6-2")
