Just in these days I was thinking about improvement in git support for
debcheckout. Would it make any sense to have an heuristic which does
something if it recognizes a branch named according to the tg naming
convention ("tg" IIRC).
I understand it prone to false positives, but we can on the other hand
add flags to suppress the default behaviour and TopGit is not a real VCS
per se ...
While we are at it, one of the other improvement I was thinking was to
track per default all remote git branches after "git clone". Comments?
Cheers.
