I think your branching scheme makes sense, Dzonatas, but I'm curious about
what kinds of changes / checkins would be candidates to become their own
branches.

The way I envision things, most JIRA patches would go straight into
unstable, without having to be placed in their own branch first. More
complex changes (like Dale's integration of an external rating system, or my
mute visibility stuff) might warrant their own branches, however.

So I think as that for most patches, the process could work like this:

0. Patches attached to JIRA issue
1. Patches integrated into unstable from JIRA
2. Sanity tests done on unstable to shake out any glaring bugs
3. Changes in unstable integrated into testing
4. More extensive QA done on testing
5. Changes in testing which pass QA integrated into stable

That way the majority of work happens in JIRA -> unstable -> testing ->
stable, and avoids the problem of having to wrangle many many branches.
