The README is shipped in a stripped down version as part of the kernel under Documentation/networking/batman-adv.txt. The readme has to be manually merged each time it gets prepared for submission to the networking subsystem maintainer after the README was modified.
This extra work is reduced by splitting it in a README which contains the same data as available in the kernel and README.external which contains the information that only affect the external module.
Applied in revision e745802.
