After another few weeks of working with Git I've added some additional notes to the Git Workflow page. The primary changes are three new sections:

How to Develop Features and Fixes <https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Git+Workflow#GitWorkflow-HowToDevelopFeaturesFixes> Tips, Tricks, and Useful Commands <https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Git+Workflow#GitWorkflow-TipsTricksandUsefulCommands> Commit Message Formatting <https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Git+Workflow#GitWorkflow-CommitMessageFormatting>

The most important of these changes is the first. It addresses directly when do use a temporary feature branch and when to work directly on a primary branch. The short answer is if you are going to do a Pull Request you should be using a temporary feature branch.


Another good article for those who are interested in how Git works under the hood or for those like me that need to be able to visualize it to understand it: http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/
