In order to refer to a branch in one of the [[git]] repositories, for example when submitting a [[patch]], you can use the [[templates/gitbranch]] template. For example: \[[!template id=gitbranch branch=yourrepo/amazingbranch author="\[[yourname]]"]] Branches referred to in open [[bugs]] and [[todo]]: [[!inline pages="(todo/* or bugs/*) and link(/branches) and !link(bugs/done) and !link(todo/done) and !*/*/*" show=0 archive=yes]] Long-lived branches in the main git repository: * `debian-stable` is used for updates to the old version included in Debian's stable release, and `debian-testing` is used for updates to Debian's testing release. (These and similar branches will be rebased.) * `ignore` gets various branches merged to it that [[Joey]] wishes to ignore when looking at everyone's unmerged changes. * `pristine-tar` contains deltas that [pristine-tar](http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/pristine-tar) can use to recreate released tarballs of ikiwiki
