As far as I understood the discussion some months ago yum development is 
supposed to happen in only one (stable) branch. This means a new branch is 
nothing more than a new version tag.

So you either need to get your changes commit ready in your private 
repository or we need to start a real development branch.

A lot of valid points. Can you add them to 
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumTodo, please? But we now need to actually pick 
up some items and get them done.
