Yeah, fair enough about per-developer branch would only confuse patch applying more.
Applying in a local branch does not mean you close the patch immediately. You close them when the branch gets committed to master. Differencial revisions will be closed because of "Differnecial Revision: FOO" mention, for patch tracker think we can make it so "Patch TXXX" also closes tasks (that we can/should do anyway i think). But i'm still fine with just "staging-" branches, would help organizing work with the patch tracker a bit more. But what's your opinion about staging- branch for non-tracker patches (like regular development things)?
