 2.4.2 Branches in Your Local Repository
 ---------------------------------------
 
 Purely local branches are where you do your own development.  You may
 use purely local branches because you don't have commit rights to the
 Savannah repo.  You may also use them if you are doing some work that
 isn't ready for sharing with the rest of the team, or cannot be
 committed for some other reason.
 
    For example, for around a nine-month period, the maintainer kept a
 purely local branch for some contributed changes for which paperwork had
 not yet been completed.
