Same here. I think "latest" is a bad choice, as it is ambigious in some situations: For example, is my experiment(al) package* latest or is the one target for the next stable latest? For me, it is much clearer to say e.g "debian/sid" or "debian/experimental" to express what I want. * (noting that experiments might not end up in sid, those changes might not * even have a business in the latest branch.) > There were cases when git wont let me use debian/foo "branch subdir" since it > clashed with other objects in the git repository, but I don't remember what it > was.
