Given that a common recommendation for a bug fix is to 'try commit
blah blah blah', would it make sense to have bug fixes go onto a
'maint' branch (as well as master), and new features / changed
features stay on the master branch?  At the time when 'master' is
ready for a new official release, it could then be merged into 'maint'
to create the next stable point for bug fixes.

Adding features on the same branch as bug fixes, when 'official
releases' are not made frequently seems to be a formula for
frustration.

Thoughts?
