This is the part that I really disagree with. Plainly: no, you should
not be allow to create what ever branch you want in the main repo.
Please? I promise I'll behave!
To be precise I'm not talking about touching any of the sacred, pristine
history branch(es) that Vincent wants. I'm talking about long-time
features on the order of weeks. We can agree on a naming convention and
a purpose for branches so that it is not "what ever branch I want" but
"whatever branches we want". In svn some branches were allowed and it
would seem that git promotes this practice.
This is the repo with the higher goals and that everyone else will see,
it should not contain interim/changing work.
Assuming that the pristinity of the lyx repo as a whole is so important
that we cannot allow trusted developers to create branches, then maybe
such branches can be allowed in the lyx-staging repo? Can we have
branches in this one, please?

Julien
