In the famous "Pro Git"[fn:1]:

[...]
  Many Git developers have a workflow that embraces this approach, such
  as having only code that is entirely stable in their `master' branch —
  possibly only code that has been or will be released. They have
  another parallel branch named develop or next that they work from or
  use to test stability — it isn’t necessarily always stable, but
  whenever it gets to a stable state, it can be merged into `master'.
[...]
  You can keep doing this for several levels of stability. Some larger
  projects also have a `proposed' or `pu' (proposed updates) branch that
  has integrated branches that may not be ready to go into the `next' or
  `master' branch. The idea is that your branches are at various levels
  of stability; when they reach a more stable level, they’re merged into
  the branch above them.
