I don't know. We will have to learn all together how this  works  out
best.

So far my impression is that git is stil very  new  to  most  of  the
users  (and  even  some  of  the  custodians) so I would like to keep
things as simple as possible.

Please feel free to try out how others accept such  branches.  I  can
deal with them - just let me know exactly whre to pull from.

But please keep in mind that we just added one level of complexity to
the end users by switchign from one central "official" repository  to
so many separate custodian trees. Adding branches to these trees adds
another level of complexity, and my feeling is that this will confuse
most users. But I may be wrong.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
