[jsword-devel] Jira and Git

[Chris Burrell]

I'm on the opposite side. At work all our branch names are simple issue
numbers because the Jira board is our master repository for all issues. All
our commit messages have got an issue number and a commit message next to
it.

Commit messages are there to stay. Often branches aren't. We use a common
develop branch, and a master branch. Everything else is transient.
