Oh, those are not branches themselves, those would be just directories to organize branches of similar purpose together. Probably use examples would help to justify. Fixes is easy one - each branch in there could be for an accepted bug in bug tracker. It would leave there until the fix is tested and accepted at which point changes merge to trunk and branch is deleted. Feature is also more or less clear. Say a major feature effort is undertaken, like adding visual themes for example. Several people would work on that, and it might be not clear at start towards what release it will be targeted, or even when it would be completed. And at the beginning it probably would break everything in the project. It will eventually be implemented at which point it would merge to either trunk, or pre-release brunch, and changes will be deleted. For users I would illustrate it like this - suppose I got some stupid idea that i am not even sure it make sense, but I want to try it anyway. Like, say, adding sequencer. It would not fit in features in my view, because not everyone would agree that the project needs such feature at all. The features would have only agreed lines of development. Users are free to put anything in their personal branches. The advantage would be capturing any potentially useful development. Anyway, this all is just suggestion.
