* feature and scratch branches
Besides the master branch, which is where development takes place, and
the "emacs-NN" release branches, we also have branches whose names
start with "scratch/" and "feature/". The "feature/" prefix is used
for feature branches that are intended to live for some time, while
"scratch/" is for one-off throw-away-after-use branches.
We do not intend to "git merge" from scratch branches, so force-pushes
are tolerated, as well as commits with poor style, incomplete commit
messages, etc.
We do expect to "git merge" from feature branches so: no force push,
and no commits that don't have a proper commit message.
Automatic tests are run for feature/* branches on EMBA.
