So, looking at the conditions, it seems that we can't have
branches within
VCS itself for core Fedora packages because of the obvious reasons explained
by Miloslav.
And submitting a patch via bugzilla is not really a solution that can work
for translations, I think!
I thought I would try to get all the issues sorted out that we are facing
one by one, but unfortunately first one didn't get through. :(
The way Fedora works, as an open project with 'packages' and builds,
it's quite hard (with our current toolchain) to standardize the use of
branches for all developers. And even if we do achieve this, like
Miroslav said, there's no guarantee that an update will be shipped to
current Fedora users.
I blame tools for everything. Or, to rephrase, there could be a tool
to help out here too. :-)
