Thanks. I think I get it- with the Git model, the main repository IS the
stable branch.

I still see value in maintenance branches, but I see how it's lessened by
the git model. And with a platform that is developer driven and leverages
migrations, even more so.

Thanks for all the responses- I've had a epiphany on the impact of Git on
the developer workflow. Actually, I suppose it's not an epiphany if it had
to hammered through my head. Anyway, thanks for all the responses!

Regards,
Nick
