I agree with this in principle. I think we need to be a little
careful about the distinctions between
1. dgit quilt mode
2. git branch and tree format
3. workflow
These go from least to most specific. The user probably needs to know
2, not 1 or 3. For example, what if the package is maintained in
git-debrebase ?
We lack a good name for 2 but maybe we could fudge it and say
"workflow" when we mean "workflow indistinguishability class under
external examination".
