You must add a description of the new branch {wiki: GitBranchDescriptions here}. The description should include the name of the person who created or is responsible for the branch, the date, where the new branch came from, what it is for, and any plans for when/where it's going to be merged back into (if we know them).
 
+{subsection: Document merge strategy}
