So for example if an effort to port Asciidoc to Python3 was started it could be in a separate repository and there is less risk of Python3 only code leaking into the Python2 version. Its a sensitive point just now because three other projects I monitor have recently had accidental pushes of large clumps of changes to the wrong branch, and its a bugger to clean up if it isn't noticed immediately and other people have pulled those changes.
