Couldn't a more descriptive name be choosen? When I "git clone"
something and then "git branch -v -a" to list all the branches
I instinctively filter out names like "tmp", "misc" etc., especially
with small numbers appended. "Misc-1.9" sounds "unimportant" while the
branches contents could actually come out as a big improvement!

More wildly diverging, unique features. Each is nice for sawfish to
have and the module system will propably make it possible to configure
from "lean" to "voluptuous".
How about making each feature its own branch with a good name? Or
group features into two or three branches, like "SawfishConfig-new",
"file-chooser+GtkComboBox" and "background-set"?
At least there should be a file explaining the branches, what they are
for and how to integrate them while they are WIP, eg. for testing.
