I suspect that the change (which I think will indeed be required) will
express itself in unpleasant arguments, as people start using their
own workflows taken from other projects, and we discover just how
incompatible some of them are with Emacs development.

It is better to draw upon the knowhow and experience of veteran git
users among us to identify in advance the preferred workflows, discuss
them, and make decisions blessed by the Powers That Be.  We have ample
time for that, as v24.4 release is at least several months away.

I'm sorry that I cannot lead those discussions, due to lack of
knowledge.  I hope someone else will.
