+About GIT branches
+------------------
+
+GIT is a powerful tool allowing many actions, but without respecting some rules
+the GIT structure can be quickly ugly and unmaintaible.
+
+Here are some conventions about GIT branches:
+ - ALWAYS create a local branch to edit or create any file. This local branch
+ will be considered as a topic in Gerrit and allow contributors to work at the
+ same time on the same project.
+ - 1 feature = 1 branch. In the case of documentation, a new chapter or page about
+ a new code feature can be considered as a 'doc feature'
+ - 1 bug = 1 branch. In the case of documentation, a correction on an existing
+ sentence can be considered as a 'doc bug'
+ - the master branch is considered as "unstable", containing new features that
+ will converge to a stable situation for the release date.
+
+The day of the release, the repository owner will create a new branch to
+fix the code and documentation. This will represent the 'stable' code of the
+release. In this context:
+ - NEVER push a new feature on a stable branch
+ - Only bug correction are authorized on a stable branch using cherry pick method
