GitHub Branches
===============

master:
  The current up-to-date working branch, that users download. It should
  only contain the latest stable release and bug fixes.

dev:
  It is a fork of the *master* branch with new developments that will be
  merged in the *master* branch for the next release. Other development
  branches should be merged on this one.

bugfix:
  A fork of the *master* on which the bug fixes are made.

gh-pages:
  This is an independent branch, containing only the web site of QP2.

For each bug fix, create a new branch. Then, when the bug is fixed and
the test are all OK, merge (squash) the bug fix commits in both the
*master* and the *develop* branches.
