The online version of the 2.6.4 documentation, at
http://www.python.org/doc/2.6.4/reference/simple_stmts.html#assignment-
statements
includes the changes made in r74822
But neither the source tarball nor the .chm Windows help file 
corresponding to the same release include such changes.

Same thing happens with other documentation changes, like r73163.

In case those changes were intentionally not merged into the 2.6 
branch, why does the online version show them?

Because they were merged after 2.6.4 was tagged.  The online docs show
the current state of the branch rather than the tagged state, because
why not publish the doc fixes, since we can?  Yes, ideally they would
have been merged before the release, but that didn't happen.  I'm sure
Georg would be happy to have help merging doc fixes :)
