An approach that seems to work well for KDE is that you have formal
-RELEASE and -BRANCH tags (e.g. KDE_3_2_BRANCH) in uppercase, and
informal[0] branches/tags in lowercase (e.g. kmail's infamous
make_it_cool_branch, kwin's kwin_iii and osnabrueck branches); anyone is
free to create lowercase branches, but uppercase branches/tags are
solely the domain of the RM.

[0]: Well, just not releases/version branches - just branches for people
     to do stuff without annoying other people.
