Well... my point is mostly about situations where it's not just one spell...
and you might not immediately know what spells to scribble. The branch may be
for spell A, but it also needs changes in spells B and C to make them work
with the devel version of A.
An extracted grimoire tarball containing all three spells would make things
clear. And the whole thing would enable testers != developers for the devel
branches. I think that would be a worthwhile goal.
And even if there are conflicts between changes to the same spell D in
multiple branches, you easily see that from a single 'gaze versions', with
the possiblity to resolve the conflict locally and later come back to some
developer about it for getting a merge integrated into git, if needed at all
-- the devs will need to resolve real conflicts when merging to master anyway.


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
