Workflow?

I depend for other work on a semi-stable version of this software. Changes have become a bit chaotic (probably sizeably my fault in some measure), and it makes a stable point difficult to track. Can we agree on types of development branches? For example the types "this branch doesn't change much", "this is development and it gets patched regularly, but you can mostly rely on it to be useable", and "don't expect everything to work on this branch" would be useful.

Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to treat the master branch in your repository as the "this is development and gets patched regularly, but is generally useable" branch. In other words I'll ignore your development branch, since you have quite a bit going on there, and I'll just post (stable-ish, tested) changes to master.
