Not exactly - insteadof or ratherin addition to brnaches I also use several copies of repositories which I can throw away if needed. In one such copy I follow all custodian repos using remote tracking branches. This is also used to pull from such a remote tracking branch if I'm ordered to pull from a custodian's repo. If this causes problems, I'll shout on the ML and either clean up or even throw away the whole repo. If it works, I'll pull this repo into the mailin repo. The reason for using additional copies of repos instead of branche scomes from the fact that (1) I used to use cogito for a long time, which handled branches differently, and (2) I have seen a copule of situations (with earlier versions of git and cogito) that corrupted a repository such that I was not able to repair it. So I try to make sure I can always throw away everything...
