All -

I have been thinking about how to go about introducing branches for POCs or
features that are not quite ready for prime time.

Kevin and I have discussed it a bit offline and have a high level proposal
for it.

We can create feature branches that are named after jira that represent the
feature being worked on. We would probably want to keep the number of
branches to a minimum though. So, we could use something like the following
criteria:

1. when a feature is being POC'd or is a longer term effort it may overlap
with a branching for release therefore these should be in a feature branch
2. larger efforts that have a number of jira's associated with them should
be in a branch that represents the umbrella jira for the feature instead of
a branch per jira
3. features that are complete and ready for release can go directly into
master

Alternatively, we can also consider using local feature branches for every
jira - this would make working on multiple things at the same time
easier/cleaner - but will also necessarily involve more branch merges and
the like.

thoughts?
