Great idea - very low-hanging fruit ... if we are scared about losing
important stuff for ever, we can always take a backup first.

Right :-)

I'm to blame for that one actually - I created it on Saturday when I
quickly needed a copy of John's working feature branch.  Yes it should
have been pushed to his clone not github.com/crowbar, but at 1am I
wasn't thinking straight ... now deleted.

Right.

This would be clearer if it was easier to navigate to this page:

Because the original pre-flattened branching model included product
info ("openstack-os-build" etc.) in the branch name, and then it got
partially moved into the releases/ tree in the main repo, leaving
behind the branch naming scheme.  I believe Victor is working on
tidying this up, but I don't yet know how that would work:
