Issue Description

I'm trying to follow the guidance below to generate the absolute prestate file for my production chains

git clone https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism.git
cd optimism
# For production chains, use the latest finalized release (not an rc)
git checkout op-program/v1.6.1  # Use the latest stable version
....
 

but I cannot find the branch op-program/v1.6.1, SO, which sepcificed branch should I choose for my production chain?

Logs

optimism % git checkout op-program/v1.6.1
error: pathspec 'op-program/v1.6.1' did not match any file(s) known to git

You're correct that the op-program/v1.6.1 tag doesn't exist yet. Checking the documentation history, op-program/v1.6.1-rc.1 was added to the tutorial on May 15th, then updated to op-program/v1.6.1 (stable version) on May 21st, but it seems this update preceded the actual tag release.

Based on the official https://docs.optimism.io/notices/upgrade-16, it appears that the appropriate version for production environments at this time would be:
git checkout op-program/v1.6.1-rc.1

Until the final v1.6.1 tag is released, it seems op-program/v1.6.1-rc.1 would be the version to use.
