darkaudacity is now a distinct branch in the master repository. Is that
intentional?

intentional?
Yes. I wasn't keen to do it. I felt a branch in my own repo was better
on nearly all accounts. However it seemed to matter a lot to Gale, so I
acceded to Gale's request for me to do it. It's an auteur branch. I
felt it clutters up our repo, and isn't needed because git is a DVCS.
If as RM you ask me to remove it again, just have it in my own repo, I
will. It is not a right of RM to require that, but would certainly be a
reasonable request from RM.

I don't feel strongly that the repo ought never to branch, but it shouldn't
be indiscriminate either, and I don't know what policy should govern.

I think you, James, may have some privileges with our GitHub repostory that
I don't have? Such as, to push -f in rare cases where that is needed.

I did do a push -f to DarkAudacity branch recently, but anyone who has
commit rights can do that. It's only the master branch that (currently)
has a lock against -f on it, and yes, I can lift that lock and reinstate
it, but have done so twice so far, only, I think.

At least until recently, Steve was in favour of a darkaudacity branch too.
