Anyone with at least write-after-approval access may create a branch
to use for their own development purposes. In keeping with FSF
policies, all patches applied to such a branch must come from people
with appropriate copyright assignments on file. All legal
requirements that would apply to any other contribution apply equally
to contributions on a branch.
Before creating the branch, you should select a name for the branch of
the form:
binutils-<org>-<name>
where "org" is the initials of your organization, or your own initials
if you are acting as an individual. For example, for a branch created
by The GNUDist Company, "tgc" would be an appropriate choice for
"org". It's up to each organization to select an appropriate choice
for "name"; some organizations may use more structure than others, so
"name" may contain additional hyphens.
Suppose that The GNUDist Company was creating a branch to develop a
port of Binutils to the FullMonty processor. Then, an appropriate
choice of branch name would be:
binutils-tgc-fm
