Update:  I think the current configuration is here:
https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-p6/blob/production/modules/svngit2jira/templates/svngit2jira.cfg.erb
I see we can start a branch with "feature", which is a reasonable prefix.
Granted "feature" is often an inaccurate characterization of the branch but
whatever.
