When I write patches myself, I always use git, so it is always easy and most convenient for me to have my own branches pulled directly just to save on 'git rebase' churn later. As to a regular workflow of using a well-known branch of mine, I think it makes sense for me to maintain a branch if there is an area where things are presumptively merged just on my approval and I'm the one who has to be lobbied to revert them. I have not heretofore acquired the sensation that this was the case with any given area of code. Thanks, Roland
