I would like to give branches a chance.  They have been supported since 
RCS (or before) so most people are familiar with the concept, if perhaps 
not the actual use.  I find branches in git are very usable and 
extremely useful.

I've added a section describing the use and status of (the) branch(es) 
in my custodian repository:
   <http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/UBootFdtInfo>
Now I can simply reply "RTFM" (as if /that/ ever worked ;-).
