They have info for "R 2.2.0 patched" and 2.2.1 is just a frozen
version of that. I.e., the only problem is that we forgot to change
the heading (and that nobody bothered to check for this sort of thing
in the 2-week beta period!).
I noticed the issue just after building the release, but decided that
it wasn't worth messing with the SVN tags for something as small as
this.

"2.2.0 Patched" is changed to "2.2.1 beta" during the beta period. The
release script ends with
cd $SRCDIR
echo $REL "Patched" > VERSION
svn commit -m "setup patch version"
so I believe this is a temporary situation and that r-patched will
become "2.2.1 Patched" next time around.
