Right, I forgot this fact.

To make it simple:

 Benoit commit to master for his development and take feature from other
 branch name_feature and merge to master. After having sometimes a stable master
 branch he merge with stable.

 So only Benoit will commit to stable and master.

 stable will be used for new releases and tagging will be done from this branch

 For lare new feature averybody is allow to create a branch name_feature for
 doing new development.

 All lisaac-X branch will be deleted.
 We will tag all lisaac-X new release.

 Having lisaac-X branch and lisaac-X tags make confusing about where is what.

 This will made our development process clear and simple.


 And don't forget that you can development a new branch on your machine and tell
 Benoit/the list, that we can fetch a new branch somewhere on a machine.
