I don't stick to "main", "msp" would also be okay, although "main" is
more appropriate IMO. But I have a slight problem with "stable".
"stable" should only be used after a release. Similar to the way,
Debian handles the name "stable", for *the* version to rely on, if you
need reliability.

I actually like what Hans proposed in his "best practice" mail: Have
"release_x" branches, and release candidates branches (which is the
state, 0.38 is currently in).
