Branching for experimental uploads on Salsa?

[Cordell Bloor <cgmb@slerp.xyz>]

Hi folks,

I'd like to make uploads to experimental for a few packages with ROCm 
6.4 updates (e.g., rocminfo, rocm-smi). How should I be handling that on 
Salsa during the Trixie freeze period?

My default would be to do my work in a short-lived branch named 
'experimental' and then merge it into 'master' once Debian Trixie is 
released. Assuming there are no more updates to the packages on 
unstable, that merge would be a fast-forward merge. Otherwise, it would 
be a normal merge. The main reason for creating this separate branch for 
experimental would be to avoid having to back out changes from 'master' 
if minimal fixes are required to the package on Unstable/Testing for 
Trixie to address an RC bug.

If there is a right way and a wrong way to do this, please let me know. 
Otherwise, I might learn the hard way.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
