Hi Robert,

The process in general sounds like something close to what we want, although
I am a bit uneasy about opening a new branch for every single modification
(unless I missed the authors intent).  I think we might want to moderate
this a bit, especially while our "specs" are undergoing development, or for
fixes to relatively obvious errors. For example, do we really want an open
branch, check out, modify, test, check in, review, merge branch sequence
because someone renamed a variable to meet a coding standard, or adjusted a
counter by 1 to fix a logical error?

Jeff
