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.
Or debian/master or debian/main to keep git logic (and previous gbp
behavior)

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.
(Maybe that you cannot have <$branch> and <$branch>/something)
