+Branch types:
+
+- **Master Branch:** Should always be deployable / usable, is considered
+  "bleeding edge", and must be named `master`.
+- **Change Branches:** Any branch that introduces changes (new feature, bug fix,
+  etc), should be cut from `master` (in most cases), and must have a descriptive
+  name.
+- **Maintenance Branches:** Used to maintain old versions, and should follow a
+  `stable-X.Y` naming pattern, where `X` is MAJOR version and `Y` is MINOR
+  version.
