Re: Org branches: master, main, and maint?

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

i have forgotten all my non-basic git, so i guess i am in for a bunch
of figuring out the automatic rebase of my stuff on top of upstream.

perhaps i can do a single git clone, do the rebase, and then change
branches to create the ohters.  but i presume this is a normal git
thing git clone to get rid of stuff lying around, deal with tags, and
deal with branches?

if there is documentation perhaps say that bugfix ~= stable?
