We're using our "master" branch from our central repo (Beanstalk) as a dev branch and we have stable branches for various release versions of our software. We've not made as heavy use of feature branches yet as we should have. Once we do start using them more regularly, what kind of stuff is ever committed directly to "master" or is master typically the place where things are merged into from other stable/features branches? Is "master" really even unstable at that point? Thanks in advance! I realize this question is pretty open-ended.
