Sounds like a good idea, if people are familiar enough with git that
should not be very demanding.<br>
<br>
Regarding naming I like the "patch, minor, master" suggestion. Like
that the branch names will stay stable for any version.<br>

<div>One of the things I would like to be better about
post-4.0.0 is releasing bug fixes more quickly. For
instance, users were complaining about having to wait
for 4.0.0 to work with Java 8, even through the Java8
bugs were fixed soon after 3.1.0 was released.<br>
<br>
</div>
I think this would be easy to do if we keep three branches
going for versions 4.0.1 (bug fixes only), 4.1.0
(backwards-compatible features only), and 5.0.0 (major api
changes). Pull requests should be made to the appropriate
branch, and changes can always be merged to a higher level
(e.g. the 5.0.0 should always contain all commits from the
4.1.0 branch). <br>
<br>
</div>
Branches could be named pre4.0.1, pre4.1.0, master; or
perhaps patch, minor, master (to match semantic versioning
levels).<br>
<br>
</div>
What do people think? Would the ease of making patch releases
and minor releases be worth the burden of the added
complexity?<br>
