 With this, Linus can push or create "bw/penguin" or "bw/zebra"
 or "bw/panda" branches, Pasky can do only "cogito", and JC can
 do master and pu branches and make versioned tags.  And anybody
 can do tmp/blah branches. The '+' sign at the pu record means
 that JC can make non-fast-forward pushes on it.
