 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Before working on a patch, you must determine on which branch you need to
-work. The branch should be based on the ``master`` branch if you want to add a
+work. The branch should be based on the ``2.7`` branch if you want to add a

 version of Symfony where the bug happens (like ``2.3``).
