Very good. As a developer, I understand that sometimes, creating
private branches are necessary. But when I need to fix/enhance
something in the source of a third party product, I like to do it in a
way that can be easily integrated in the "main tree" (because I
usually send my changes to the component's author). This is good for
both sides, since the author and community can benefit of the
enhancements, and it makes easier for me to keep in sync with all
newest versions, since I do not have to compare/sync/test all the
private changes every time a a new version is out.
