+Contributing long-lived feature branches
+----------------------------------------
+Oftentimes users or institutions add features that are necessarily complex,
+and require many changes on long-lived feature branches. In this case,
+maintaining a perfect history where all changes work individually is
infeasible.
+When contributing long-lived feature branches back to gem5's public
repository
+users may merge entire long-lived branches into a single changeset and
contribute
+their code back as long as 1) the changes have been reviewed by the
maintainer
+2) the maintainer agrees to allow such a change, and 2) the changes are
passing
+the tester. Changes that affect common code (outside of a specific
maintainer's
+purview) will still need to follow the standard gem5 protocol.
